Charles 'Chuck' Giese

Charles James Giese, 68, left us suddenly on November 11, 2025, Veterans Day, surrounded by his wife Teresa, family and friends. He left us a beautiful message in the sky as he danced through the Northern lights letting us know he's now at peace and pain free.

His life was full with hunting, fishing, RVing, Motorcycling, ATVing and spending time with friends and family. But in his last few years it was all about his grandson's. Just hanging out.
