Charles Leroy Kenneth Yeider, born on November 3, 1938, in Nampa, Idaho. He made his departure on August 29, 2026. Charles, a loving and dedicated husband, father, and friend, left an indelible mark of joy and humor on everyone's lives. His blue twinkling eyes and hearty laughter were enough to light up any room, and his quick wit never failed to bring a smile to everyone's faces.
In life, Charles was not just a superb electrician, but also a master of many hobbies. His dedication was notable in his career with Cochran Electric in Seattle, Washington, from where he retired after years of committed service. However, Charles wore many hats, showcasing his versatile talents as an avid carver, a masterful gardener, and a superior puzzler. He dabbled with different artistic endeavors. He was also an ardent outdoorsman, relishing every opportunity to venture into the wilderness as a hunter and fisherman. His infectious enthusiasm, coupled with his compassionate nature, made him a beacon of light in the lives of his family and friends.
Charles was cherished and is survived by his beloved wife of 65 years, Marilyn Yeider. His love for Marilyn was a testament to his warm, loving nature; their beautiful journey together was an inspiration to all who knew them. His legacy of love, laughter, and compassion will continue to live on in the hearts of his loved ones.
His parents, Kenneth and Junette Yeider, preceded him, along with his older sister, Rosella Painter and his twin sister Charlene Wheeler. Additionally, he is survived by four children; five grandchildren and five great grandchildren. His life was a testimony to the fact that "Family is not an important thing. It's everything."
