Charles "Chuck" Edward Grams

Charles "Chuck" Edward Grams, age 75, went home to heaven on Wednesday, June 4, 2025. After a short autoimmune disease battle and two weeks in the hospital, he peacefully passed away with his wife, two children, daughter-in-law, and two sisters at his side. Chuck was a dedicated husband, dad, G-Pa, brother, cousin, and friend. He loved each of his roles in life and everyone who knew Chuck couldn’t help but love him, too. Chuck was born on February 19, 1950, to Richard and Bernice Grams. He grew up in Evans, Colorado and attended college at the University of Northern Colorado where he met the love of his life, Sandy. They were married on February 10, 1973, and spent 52 wonderful years together. During those years, Chuck was a proud dad of two children, and loved every moment with them, whether watching Tiffany’s dance recitals, traveling with Landon’s hockey team, or snowmobiling and boating as a family. He retired from a successful dry cleaning business in Denver and then began volunteering at Denver International Airport. His two favorite jobs were helping those who needed assistance boarding Frontier airlines in wheelchairs and de-icing the airplanes in some of the worst Colorado winter weather. Chuck was also the best “G-Pa” to his six grandchildren. He loved spending time with them and watching them grow up. Chuck also loved fishing and always dreamed of having a home in Florida with a boat to access the deep waters. He spent the last couple years between Kansas and Florida, spending time with his grandkids in Kansas and Arkansas, while enjoying that Florida life he always wanted. His smile, laughter, light-hearted jokes, and amazing hugs will be deeply missed. Chuck is preceded in death by his parents. He is survived by his wife, Sandra; daughter, Tiffany (John) Feider of Fayetteville, AR; son, Landon Charles (Megan) Grams of Maize, KS; six grandchildren, Audria, Aaron and Aviella Feider, and Eli, Seth and Isaac Grams; sisters, Alyce (Dave) Hagler and Leann (Charlie) Sander, along with a host of family and friends who have all been touched by his life. A prayer vigil will be held Thursday, June 12, 2025, at 7:00 pm, and Funeral Mass on Friday, June 13, 2025, at 10:30 am, both at St. Catherine of Siena Catholic Church, 3642 N Ridge Rd, Wichita, KS. Graveside service will take place Friday, June 13, 2025, at 2:00 pm at Resthaven Cemetery, 11800 US-54, Wichita, KS.
