Charles R. Hazel II, avid waterman
Charles “Chuck” R. Hazel II went to be with the Lord Thursday, Nov. 7, 2024. He was born May 6, 1960.
Chuck was an avid waterman and lifelong resident of Lewes. He spent a lot of his years clamming in Rehoboth Bay. In addition to the water, Chuck had a passion for wrestling, and spent many years coaching and mentoring kids in the wrestling community. Chuck was a dedicated son, father, friend, and most importantly, Pop-Pop. Chuck was the definition of selfless and will be deeply missed by his family and all who knew him.
Chuck is preceded in death by his mother, Nancy Truitt; and his brother, Joe Hazel. He is survived by his father, Charles Hazel Sr.; his sisters, Lynn Walsh (Randy) and Traci Garvens; his sons, Charles Hazel III (Nikki), Mathew West (Amber) and Brandon Hazel (Kinsley); his lifelong partner, Lisa Franklin; stepdaughter, Samantha Shockley; his grandchildren, Morgan, Jazear, Brooklyn, Melina, Lincoln, Nolan, Stella, Davina and Kentley; and great-grandchild, Katelynn.
There will be a celebration of life held at 3 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 30, at Indian River Volunteer Fire Company, 32628 Oak Orchard Road, Millsboro.
In lieu of flowers, make donations in Chuck's honor to Sussex Central Wrestling Boosters, 26026 Patriots Way, Georgetown, DE 19947.
