Obituary of Charles Bruce LeMay

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, Charles Bruce LeMay, who departed this life on Tuesday, October 21, 2025, at the age of 83. He was a cherished member of our family and will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

Born on April 30, 1942, in Niagara Falls, Charles lived a life filled with love, laughter, and unwavering dedication to his family. He is now reunited with his late wife and the love of his life, Brenda LeMay, as well as his late daughter, Barbara Stacey. Charles is survived by his two daughters, Dawne Michelle Bower (the late Brian Bower) and Penny Lynne LeMay, along with his son, Chuck LeMay Jr. (Trina Guite-LeMay), who will forever treasure the memories shared with their father.

As a grandfather, Charles was a source of joy and humour to his three grandchildren, Laurissa (Patrick), Courtney (Jason), and Nevaeh, and he adored his two great-grandchildren, Nyla and Tenley. Known for his infectious laughter and playful spirit, Charles had a remarkable ability to make everyone feel special. His legacy of love and humour will live on in their hearts.

Charles was a man of kindness with an amazing sense of humour, touching the lives of all who knew him. His passions included collecting cars, being an avid fan of the Toronto Blue Jays, along with exploring Saturday morning yard sales. He took great pleasure in sharing these interests with his family, creating lasting memories.

Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to the Welland Funeral Home, Cremation and Reception Centre, 827 East Main St., Welland. As an expression of sympathy, the family kindly requests donations be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation. 

Though he is no longer with us, Charles will forever remain in our hearts and memories. He taught us the true meaning of love and family, and his spirit will continue to live on through us all.
