Charles Eugene "Chuck" Beneventi, 60, of East Peoria, IL, passed away on Monday, July 28, 2025, surrounded by loved ones.
Born on September 1, 1964, in Peoria, Illinois, Chuck was the son of Ruth and Jerry Beneventi. He graduated from Manual High School and went on to serve his country with honor in the United States Navy.
Following his military service, Chuck built a dedicated career working at RP Lumber and Carver Lumber. Known for his strong work ethic and reliability, he earned the respect of colleagues and customers alike throughout his years in the industry.
Chuck's greatest joy came from spending time with his family. He is survived by his beloved wife, Angela "Angie" Beneventi; daughters Kristy (Joe) Seckler, Jordan Brautigam, Brooke (Alex) Tielbar, Mackenzie (Chris) Wilson, and Jenna (Matthew Muller) Beneventi; son Justin (Jessica) Beneventi; and cherished grandchildren, Ella Seckler, Hudson Seckler, Addison Cramm, Oliver Cramm, Elijah Beneventi, Lyanna Tielbar, Keaton Tielbar, and Micah Wilson. He was preceded in death by his parents.
A man of many interests, Chuck found peace in nature-whether camping, casting a line while fishing, pedaling along bike trails, or gliding across the water in his kayak. Yet above all else, he treasured moments spent with family and took immense pride in attending his grandchildren's extracurricular activities.
Despite his tall stature that might have seemed imposing at first glance, Chuck was affectionately known as a "giant teddy bear." His gentle spirit and deep love for both his family and all their dogs left a lasting impression on all who knew him.
Chuck's legacy lives on through the countless memories shared with those who loved him. May his memory bring comfort to all who were fortunate enough to know him.
Cremation rites have been accorded. A Celebration of Life will be held on Thursday, July 31, 2025, from 5:00 pm until 7:00 pm at the Spring Bay American Legion Post #1115, 500 Legion Lane, East Peoria. Online condolences at www.masonfuneralhomes.com.
