Obituary

Charles “Chuck” T. Wolters, age 72 of Custer, WA passed away peacefully on January 14, 2017. Chuck was born in Everett, WA. He graduated from Montclair High School in Montclair, CA.
After graduation, he proudly served in the US Navy onboard the USS Agerholm. When Chuck was 14, he started working as a fencing contractor and, after returning from the Navy, he purchased the fencing company he was working for and became an upstanding businessman in the community of Norco, CA. Chuck sold his business in 1988. He and his wife, Sharon, decided to return to his roots in WA where they started Northwest Fence at their home in Custer. When the business outgrew the space they had available, they moved it to Bellingham. In 1989, they started Sardis Wildlife Center, rehabbing injured wild animals and raptors.
In his free time, he enjoyed doing classic car shows and driving his 63-split window Corvette. He was a member of Fourth Corner Elites Classic Car Club and the Corvette Club. He also loved to spend time with family playing cards. He loved to help single moms and kids who were in need, both monetarily and with kind words.
Chuck was preceded in death by his mother, Louise Ralston, his father, Howard Wagner and his brother, Daryl Wolters.
He is survived by his loving wife of 28 years, Sharon, the father who raised him, George Wolters, brother Ron (Sandra) Wagner, sister Sheryel (Ken) Eberwein, sister Collette (Rick) Scroggs, sister Charlene Wolters, brother Don (Chris) Wagner, sister Diane Shattuck, brother Karl (Leah) Wagner, sister Jan (Jim) Little, brother Calvin (Kim) Wagner, many cousins, nieces, nephews, and great nieces and nephews.
