Charles (Chuck) Chilldres, 68, went to be with our Lord and Savior surrounded by his loving family on Thursday, July 28, 2022. Chuck was born on August 18, 1953 in Little Rock, Arkansas, to Horace and Dorothy Chilldres.

He is survived by his wife, Caryl Chilldres of Lonoke; children, Tanya (Larry) Slaughter of New Braunfels, Texas, Charles Daniel Chilldres of San Antonio, Texas, Ryan (April) Chilldres of Little Rock, and Crystal (George) Adams of Jonesboro; grandchildren, Sabrina Gardizi of Texas, Alexis Gardizi of Arizona, Mason (Shelby) Gardizi of Texas, Emilee and Alysabeth Chilldres of Texas, Faith Chilldres of Little Rock, and Lexi, Addie and Briggs Adams of Jonesboro; three great grandchildren; brother, Larry Chilldres of Maumelle; sister, Sandra (Pat) Parnell of Lonoke; brother-in-law Ed (Shelly) Stricker and Ken (Sherri) Stricker of New Jersey, a host of nieces and nephews along with many other close family and friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents and sister-in-law Sarah Chilldres.

Chuck worked at Chicopee/Johnson & Johnson and Polymer Group as production and maintenance supervisor, along with various other positions for almost 40 years.

Those of you who knew “Chucky” would describe him as a loving, caring and affectionate person, and that his grandkids were his pride and joy. He would gladly share or give away any item that he had in his garage or out in the pasture. You would have thought you were in Lowes or Home Depot. Some of his special times were raising cattle with his dad, helping him with the garden, driving his tractor and riding horses. He was also a prankster and enjoyed roughhousing with his kids, grandkids, nephews and friends. Our family will always remember the fun times at the lake, waterskiing, tubing, and hanging out with friends and once again, always aggravating and guess what, playing tricks on others. If he wasn’t fishing or playing golf, he was busy with his woodworking projects. Lastly, he was an avid Elvis and John Wayne fan. He loved those westerns! He will be greatly missed but never forgotten.

The family would like to thank you for honoring his memory with your presence, thoughts and prayers

Visitation will be held 2:00 PM, Friday, August 5, 2022, followed by a memorial service at 3:30 PM at Boyd Funeral Home, in Lonoke.
