Chuck was predeceased by his sister Deborah Miller, his father Charles Wright and his mother Dolores Beckwith. His family was the center of his universe, and he cherished every moment spent with them.

Chuck graduated from Surrattsville High School and was working as a manager at MEMCO when he met his wife, Sharon. They had a wonderful marriage that lasted 49 years. As a driver and then sales manager for Pepsi for more than 30 years, Chuck built a career marked by dedication and hard work. Despite his many responsibilities, he always made time for his family. He loved the great outdoors, exploring new places, and sharing laughter and memories with those he loved. He was an avid hunter, spending most every weekend from October to January in Charlottesville, VA, deer hunting with his buddies. After he retired, he and Sharon bought an RV and traveled all around the U.S. with their friends for several months out of the year. He also cherished all the hours he spent on the sidelines watching his grandsons play soccer and football and his granddaughter dancing competitively. His grandchildren were truly the joy of his life and although his youngest grandson was too young for sports, they had a special relationship that brought Chuck immense joy. Chuck's passing is a huge loss to all who knew him, but his enthusiasm for life and his outgoing personality will remain in the hearts and minds of everyone whose life he touched.
