Charles Wekenborg Obituary
Wekenborg, Charles Lawrence
10/12/1933 - 07/12/2022
Beloved husband of Rose, father of John (Crystal), Cheryl (Mark), Mike, Linda (Brad) and Mark (Lisa). Grandfather of 12 and Great Grandfather of 12. Brother of Marydel (Ben). Preceeded in death by parents John and Cordula, brothers Robert and Paul and sister, Rosemary (SSND). Dear uncle, cousin and friend to many. Charlie had many hobbies but fishing was his #1 pastime. He volunteered his time throughout his life and enjoyed a good game of Scrabble or Rumikub. He was a perpetual farm boy who loved tending the chickens and gardening with Rose, as well as, fishing with his buddies and enjoying his family. He was very skilled in wood working and construction. He was an avid rehabber and a man who knew how to get things done. He will be missed by all who knew him. Fish on, Charlie!
Services: Services will be scheduled at Jefferson Barracks at a later date.
