Charles L. Perez Jr. Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

On Thursday, June 11, 2020, Charles L Perez Jr., Chuck, 56, suffered a fatal stroke and was called home to our Heavenly Father. Charles was the beloved and only son of both of his surviving parents, Charles L. and Mary Lou Perez. Charles was born in Wilkes-Barre on April 16, 1964. He graduated from Elmer L. Meyers High School, Wilkes-Barre Area School District, Class of 1982. Charles was employed by Motor World for many years and most recently worked for Latona Trucking. Charles had a devilish and well-developed sense of humor, coupled with an infectious laugh, and he loved to have a good laugh. These attributes will be missed most by all those who knew and loved him. Charles also had a penchant for flying remote control planes and was a member of the RC Flyers. His friends will tell you that he would do anything for anyone, that he would remove the shirt from his back if you needed it.
