CONFIRMED: Charles Edward Olds, Retired, Veteran, US Air Force, Vietnam (29-25) 11 Feb 25 @ Town East Baptist Church | San Antonio | Texas | United States

US AIR FORCE RETIRED VETERAN – VIETNAM WAR

The family of Mr. Charles Edward Olds, a US Air Force (Ret.) Veteran, requests the presence and participation of the San Antonio Patriot Guard at the services and LEO supported procession, and graveside rendering of military honors of their loved one. We are honored to accept this invitation.

Charles Edward “Chuck” Olds, age 73 of Boerne, Texas, left this earth to join his Lord and Savior on January 20, 2025. He was born on August 23, 1951, in Columbus, Ohio and later moved to Pomona, California with family in 1961. His genuine love and brilliant smile touched the lives of all who knew him. He was a man who filled the lives of everyone around him with joy, warmth, and laughter.

Chuck was preceded in death by his parents, Neville Lee and Doris Kathleen (McKee) Olds; sister Sara (Olds) Gray; brothers Robert L. Olds and Michael W. Olds; and grandson Grayson K. Olds.

He is survived by his loving wife of 54 years, Janice (Brown) Olds; son Jason C. (Anna) Olds; daughter Wendi L. (Neli) Olds; granddaughter Olivia Olds-Martinez; grandsons Jackson M. Olds and Carlos A. Olds-Martinez; step-grandchildren Chantelle del Campo and Andre Mahusay; two great-grandchildren Kelani del Campo and Ayers Mahusay; sister-in-law Tanya D. (James) Kennedy and numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins.

After Graduation from Garey High School in Pomona, California, Chuck served his country for 20 years in the United States Air Force. He served in the Vietnam War in 1971. He retired in 1990 as a Master Sergeant and earned 3 Meritorious Service Medals. After his time in the military, Chuck worked as a Drug and Alcohol Counselor with the state of South Carolina Drug and Alcohol Commission for 15 years before retirement. In 1993 he graduated Cum Laude with a bachelor’s degree in criminology from St. Leo University in Sumter, South Carolina. Chuck was also a graduate of Faith Bible Institute at Town East Baptist Church in San Antonio, Texas.

A believer in Christ and the power of Gospel, Chuck lived his life authentically and inspired others to do the same. He never met a stranger, embracing all with open arms and a kind heart. His vibrant personality and genuine kindness will be greatly missed. He was a friend to all.
