Charles Eugene House, 69, Greenfield, passed away Tuesday, July 13, 2021. Charles was born on February 7, 1952 in Hodgenville, KY to Charles Madison and Stacie Marie (Despain) House. Charles is a 1971 graduate of Lawrence Central High School. He served in the U.S. Marine's. He married his love, Nancy Sue Crannor.
Charles was a tremendously loving individual. He never had a bad word to say about anyone. He was overly dedicated to his work and never missed a day, even while under the weather. Charles was a true survivor who battled cancer for 15 years. He never complained, never took a break, and never gave up hope. He worked as a laborer for a few construction sites around Indianapolis over the years. He retired after 10 years with Gibraltar Construction. In Charles' younger years, he enjoyed riding 4-wheelers with his son Charlie and taking family vacations to Panama City. In his more mature years, Charles joined the Masonic Lodge in Lawrence, enjoyed riding Harley Davidsons, hiking in Fort Ben Harrison State Park, looking forward to time spent with his brothers, spending time with friends, volunteering for 8 years with his comrades in Post #261 for area Funeral Guard honors, and supporting our 4-legged friends with the Humane Society. But above all, family was Charles' priority, and his family will miss him beyond words.
He is survived by his loving son, Charlie (Samantha) House; grandsons: Charlie Blake House and Clayton Madison House; brothers: Benny (Kathy) House, Eddie (Janice) House, and Ricky House; several nieces and nephews; his buddies on Post #261; and many friends and former work colleagues.
Charles was preceded in death by his parents; wife, Nancy Sue House; and sister, Connie Robbins.
