Charlie was preceded in death by Ann who passed away in 2020 and is survived by their two sons, Justin Van De Wiele of Tulsa, Oklahoma and Stuart Van De Wiele (and his wife Jessica) of Tulsa, Oklahoma.

He is also survived by several siblings, nieces, and nephews.

Charlie spent countless weekends watching their grandkids play soccer and other sports. Charlie had a deep passion for community service, having been a member of and served on the board of directors of the Kiwanis Club of Tulsa, the Miss Oklahoma Pageant, and the Tulsa Arts and Humanities Council. He is a holder of the Silver Beaver Award for his service to the Boy Scouts of America, and a National Points of Light Award recipient for his civic and community involvement.
