Charles Gustave Donewar III's Obituary
On July 15, 2022 heaven gained an angel when Mr. Charles Gustave Donewar III passed from this world. He was preceded in death by his parents, Charles Donewar Jr. and Josephine (Fradella) Donewar. Mr. Charles will be forever loved by his wife, Lynne Donewar; sons and daughters in law, Charles Donewar IV and Christine and Mike and Tiffani Donewar; his grandchildren, which he adored, Julianne, Emma, Hailey, Harley, Lucas and Belle Lynne Donewar; brothers, Frank Donewar, Jody Donewar(Sandra), Glenn Donewar along with numerous extended family and friends. Charles was a native of Gretna, LA and a resident of Covington, LA for 43 years.
Charles was an easygoing man who loved the outdoors, loved his family and loved sharing a laugh or a joke with his fishing buddies. He "just loved to fish" and taught his children and grandchildren to do likewise. He also was an avid hunter. Everyone can say a lot of things about Charles but one thing undeniable was his love for his family.
Charles knew what it was like to be married to a wonderful woman for over 50 years and he loved her beyond anything even more than fishing! Charles had an indescribable personality and if you knew Charles, you know what we mean! Right, wrong or indifferent, you always knew where you stood with him. He earned the respect of everyone who encountered him throughout his life.
A private service will be held at a later date. The Donewar family wishes to express their gratitude of the outpouring of love and compassion during this most difficult time. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Kids Fishing Foundation, 31258 600th street, Millville, MN, 55957. We wish you were here for “one more cast” but you went ahead to find the “honeyhole”. Fish on, our beloved husband, father, Paw Paw and cherished friend, fish on.
