Charles Quillen, larger than life

January 29, 2023

Charles "Chuck" Quillen passed away Monday, Jan. 23, 2023. Chuck was born July 13, 1965.

He married his wife, Sharon, Aug. 1, 1998. Together, they successfully started CS Construction & Son LLC from 1998 to present day. Chuck loved spending time camping with his wife and family, and always having a good time with friends new and old. He loved wildlife and was an avid hunter. Chuck would reach out with a tender hand to help injured wildlife. 

Chuck was a larger-than-life figure to all who knew him. He was fun-loving and always there wanting to help others with his big, big heart. He treasured each and every friend he had and always had room for one more friend.  Once he was your friend, you had a friend indeed.

He leaves behind his wife, Sharon L. Quillen; parents, Pat and Henry Quillen; his children and stepchildren, Charles Steele, Heather Sipple, David Sullivan and Julie LeCates; his siblings: Del Burk, Kim Blaser (Ernie), Clarence Quillen (Kae), Mike Milligan, Dawn Warren and Melvin Milligan (Leann); many grandchildren and great-grandchildren, as well as nieces and nephews.

He was preceded by his mother Norma Quillen; son Curtis Fletcher; brothers Norman "Jake" Quillen and Henry "Rusty" Quillen; and his sister Lisa.

At his request, there will be no service. Chuck wanted a celebration of life gathering. Details will be announced to family and friends soon.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests contributions in Chuck’s memory to Delaware Council of Wildlife Rehabilitators and Educators (DCWRE), dewildliferescue.com.
