Charles "Chuck" Udick passed away peacefully in his sleep on March 24th, 2026, at the age of 98, after along battle with Parkinson's Disease.

Chuck was born into one of the most turbulent eras in American history, coming of age during the GreatDepression, a time that shaped his resilience, his generosity, and his deep appreciation for family andfaith. He was raised by two extraordinarily generous individuals, his mother May and his father John,whose influence stayed with him throughout his remarkable 98 years.

Chuck proudly served his country in the United States Navy during World War II, where he served as aNaval Cook which was a fitting early chapter for a man who would go on to become legendary among hisfamily for his baking skills, even though he did burn the shit out of everything on purpose.

A true entrepreneur at heart, Chuck spent the majority of his life as a mechanic and built something to beproud of in Udick Auto Supply. He was a man who believed in honest work, steady routine, and thesimple pleasures of life, a good book, a Denver Broncos game on television, and always, the generoususe of butter.

His Catholic faith was a cornerstone of his life, grounding him through every decade he lived. And fewthings brought Chuck more joy than his dogs particularly his beloved German Shepherds, a long line ofloyal companions he affectionately named "Fang."

Above all else, family was Chuck's greatest treasure. He leaves behind his children Douglas Udick andDebra Udick, daughter-in-law Pahmela Udick, and granddaughters Brittany Parker and Alexius UdickLovell, who will carry his memory, his warmth, and probably his love of butter and ice cream.

Chuck was preceded in death by his parents, May and John Adrian Udick, and his beloved brothers, Rev.William Udick, Jack Udick and beloved dogs General, Fang 1, Fang 2, Fang 3, Offya 1, Offya 2,Poncho, Rosco Nini, Killer, Sam, and Bowser.

He lived 98 full years and left every one of them better than he found it due to his tremendous work ethicand dedication to family
