Charles I. Chalmers, of Waldron, Arkansas, passed from this life on June 14, 2024, at the age of 71. Charlie was born in Sacramento, California on February 7, 1953 to Arthur Ivan and Barbara Sue (Spiva) Chalmers.
Known for his eccentric nature, Charlie had a colorful life filled with adventure. He spent his younger years traveling with the carnival in California as a ride operator. Later in life, he became an avid rattlesnake round-up hunter, passing this unique tradition down to his children. In his free time, Charlie enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren, regaling them with stories of his exciting escapades.
Charlie leaves behind to cherish his memory three children: Amanda Kurtz and husband Jeff of Rancho Cordova, California; Charles Chalmers and wife Jessica of Waldron, Arkansas and Matthew Chalmers and wife Latricia of Waldron, Arkansas. Grandpa will forever remain in the hearts of his five grandchildren: Sophia Kurtz, Brenden Kurtz, Dakota Chalmers, DeWayne Chalmers and McKinzie Chalmers. Charlie is also survived by one brother, David Chalmers. Charlie will be missed by his family, friends, and all those who knew him.
Charlie was preceded in death by his parents, Arthur and Barbara Chalmers and one sister, Cindy Metcalf.
Charlie’s family will hold a private memorial service at a later date. Cremation arrangements are being entrusted to the Heritage Memorial Funeral Home in Waldron, Arkansas.
