Charles Eavenson

He moved to New Mexico as a child with his mother and siblings. He always considered New Mexico home and spent most of his life in the Albuquerque and Aztec areas. He provided for his family working as a truck driver and welder. Charles enjoyed fabricating all sorts of things from motor homes to horse trailers. He was known by many for the horses he raised. His favorite past times were fishing, raising horses, and of course his grandchildren whom he was extremely proud.

Charles will always be remembered as a loving husband, father, grandfather, and friend. He was always telling a story or giving people hell. He will surely be missed by all.
