HUDSON FALLS---Charles "Chuck" G. Naylor, 35, passed away unexpectedly, Friday, April 1, 2022.

Born April 30, 1986, in Glens Falls, he was the son of Tammy Greene and Charles G. Naylor Sr.

Chuck grew up in South Glens Falls and was a South High graduate.

He loved sports and was a gifted athlete. Baseball was his first love, and he was an avid NY Yankee fan. Although not a Yankee, Ken Griffey Jr. was his all-time favorite hitter with the sweetest swing.

After being introduced to wrestling it was without question his sport. He was a natural but worked hard, was a fierce competitor with an accomplished record. High school yielded many cherished memories and friendships.

Spending time with family and friends meant everything. He loved animals, fishing, boating, was a talented artist, as well as a talented guitar player. He always stayed busy but when he did slow down, watching classic movies was a staple. He could quote a movie line and imitate a character like no other. His wittiness and sense of humor was simply the best!

After high school he joined the military and was deployed to combat in Afghanistan. During this time his convoy was attacked, and he sadly suffered injury. He returned home as a combat veteran and purple heart recipient. In addition to his return home, service did not end there as he joined an Honor Guard unit. His love of country and brotherhood was unwavering.

He then met a girl, got married and started a new career. Upon completion of a long apprenticeship program, he was an official journeyman electrician belonging to the IBEW Local 236.

The birth of his two sons soon followed and would be his greatest love of all!

Words can't express how much he was loved and will be missed. There was truly a special presence about him.

LOVE OF FAMILY, GOD & COUNTRY DESCRIBE HIM TO A TEE!
