Chuck was preceded in death by his parents Chuck Sr., and Mary[Paulson] DeGraffenreid. He was born and raised in southern California, but was a world traveler. He enjoyed exploring the country and the globe. Chuck was a licensed pilot, played several musical instruments, loved the outdoors, camping, boating, hunting, and fishing. Chuck took on life with joy and abandon, making every day an adventure for all who knew him.

Chuck was a master craftsman, and retired in 2019 after spending 30 years building custom homes in Snohomish and Island Counties as the owner of Renaissance Builders, Inc. Upon retirement to Wickenburg, AZ, Chuck realized a talent for painting mountain and desert landscapes.

To celebrate Chuck's Life Well Lived, a memorial for family and friends will be held at the Wickenburg Country Club on October 30, 2022. Chuck requested that a portion of his ashes be taken to the North Cascades. A Celebration of Life to be held in Arlington, will be planned for the spring.
