Charles Knutson Obituary

Charles Peter Knutson Jr. passed away peacefully on the morning of Wednesday, March 4th,

2026, at age 51.

In his life, Charles was a father, a friend, and one heck of a plumber. He was passionate about

his work and impressively skilled to fix anything no matter how complicated or how new he was

to the process. If you needed help with something there was no better phone to call. He loved

hands-on hobbies like building and racing rc cars and planes, and he was always happy on the

lake.

Charlie is survived by his children Dylan Knutson and Reno Knutson; his siblings Ellen

(Knutson) Kiczula and her family, Ken Knutson and his family, and Christine (Knutson) Beckman

and her family; as well as aunts and uncles. He is preceded in death by his parents Charles

Knutson Sr. and Marilyn Knutson, and his nephew Aaron Kiczula.

A memorial service will be held at 3pm on the afternoon of April 19th at One Life Church in

South Aurora.

Growing up, Uncle Charlie was more like a cousin to me because we were so close in age. We spent our time playing video games, fishing, and playing with RC cars. It's hard to say goodbye now that we've recently reconnected over the last five months. You will be missed.
