Charles “Chuck” E. Strazinsky Jr., age 55, of Chardon Township, passed away May 20, 2024, after a heroic battle with cancer. Born October 1, 1968, in Garfield Heights to Charles E. Strazinsky and Marlyne (nee: Fiorilli) Strazinsky, he had been a lifelong area resident. He was a carpenter by trade and worked in construction with his brother Jonathan and most recently his son Mason. He was currently serving as a Chardon Township Trustee. Chuck had a big personality, his smile would light up a room. His humble nature coupled with his selflessness made him very easy to love. Those who met him were better off for doing so. His love for his family, especially his children, was immeasurable. He was very proud to be a big brother, and he was very proud to be a Father. His world revolved around his four kids. He will live on through his children who all carry different parts of him with them every day. Chuck loved his music, loved to play it loud and loved to dance to it. His passion and talent for his craft left its mark on the world. He was also well respected by others in the trades, always willing to learn and loved to teach. When you watch Godzilla or King Kong, listen to Elvis, or you hear a big diesel truck, please remember him and smile. He was well loved by family, friends and customers. He will be greatly missed by many. Survivors include his children Sophia of Sebastian, FL, Mason of Chardon, Erika of Columbus and Toni of Columbus; mother Marlyne (Paul) Joiner of Chardon; brothers Bryan (Heather) of St. Johns, FL and Jonathan (Lora) of Orwell and extended family.
