Charles E. Curran

September 13, 1942 - March 30, 2018

Loving husband and father, Charles (Chuck) Curran, age 75, of Palm Coast, FL, went home to be with Our Lord on Good Friday, March 30, 2018, at Florida Hospital Flagler following a lengthy series of illnesses which began with his major heart attack in 2011. Since then, Chuck has experienced failing health which took a huge toll on his enjoyment of life. Chuck graduated from Crawfordsville High School, class of 1960, in Crawfordsville, Indiana and then enlisted in the Navy during the Vietnam War era. He proudly served over 20 years in the US Navy obtaining the rank of Chief Petty Officer and Builder Chief, for which he was extremely proud.
