Born in Bethlehem, Charles attended Liberty High School, his obituary says.
Charles worked in the maintenance department at Crothall Healthcare in Bethlehem, according to his memorial.
He loved spending time in nature and watching Michigan football on television.
Above all, Charles embraced his role as a dedicated father to his young daughter, Haily.
In addition to his daughter, Charles leaves behind his loving wife, Jessica (Easterday) Gugie; a sister, Kerrie Strybuc; as well as several extended family members and close friends.
Charles' funeral services are private.
Meanwhile, more than $700 had been raised on a GoFundMe for Charles' final expenses.
"My husband and I have been married for 20 years, but in May of this year, he fell very sick," Jessica Gugie writes. "After taking him to the hospital, we discovered he had end-stage kidney failure and liver disease...Anything is appreciated to help me and my daughter cremate my husband and her father."
The campaign has a goal of $5,000.
