Charles (Chuck) H. Reamy, 82, died at home, surrounded by family, on May 6, 2022, in Post Falls, Idaho.

He was born Oct. 2, 1939, in Buckley, Wash., the fourth child of the late Earl Henry and Ida Viola Reamy. Chuck was raised with his three brothers and four sisters on the family dairy farm near South Prairie, Wash.

He attended White River Schools, joining the Marine Corps in 1957 at the end of his senior year; he served as a guard on the USS Midway for the major part of his enlistment.

For most of his adult work life, Chuck drove semi-trucks and operated heavy equipment. He also was involved in dairy farming with his brother, Earl, in Othello, Wash. He was an early riser and a very hard worker, traits he developed early in life working on the family farm. Chuck enjoyed outdoor activities such as gardening, camping and riding his 4-wheeler on summer weekends in the mountains of Northern Idaho. He especially enjoyed going on fishing trips to Alaska with his brothers.

He is survived by five children: Cynthia (Gary) Rosenthal, Donald La Crone, Catherine Greene, Douglas Reamy and Tina (Tony) Sneed; two stepchildren: Angelique (Paul) King and Christine (Jered) Baker; 11 grandchildren, seven great-grandchildren, and Shana Reamy, his wife of 38 years, whom he loved so much. In addition, brothers Earl (Tanya) Reamy and Glen (Maria) Reamy, and sisters Rosalie Gayer, Judy and Glenda Reamy; sister-in-law Betty Reamy, and brother-in-law Les Martin as well as many other family members. Chuck was proceeded in death by his brother, Richard Reamy, and sister Earlien Martin.

Chuck was a kind and generous man, a loving husband, father, brother, grandfather, father-in-law, uncle and friend. He will be greatly missed and loved always and always.

The family would like to thank Hospice of North Idaho for their kindness and wonderful care extended to our loved one during Chuck's stay there.

A memorial service will be held at Real Life Ministries in Post Falls, Idaho, on Friday, June 3, at 1 p.m. A potluck will follow the service.
