Charley was born on October 13, 1948, in Davenport, IA, the son of Bill and Velma (Dyer) Sheeder. Charley retired after 30 years as a cement finisher.

He enjoyed watching college football and was a big Hawkeye fan. In his younger days, he played football for the Quad Cities Mohawks. He was a great athlete, played softball, and loved running the Bix. He trained and ran the Bix for ten years. When his health wouldn't permit him to run anymore, he still went to watch every year.

Charley loved family gatherings, especially at Christmas. He loved trying new food dishes, especially the ones that were hot and spicy.

Charley is survived by his significant other, Kim Dobbs, her sons: Shane (Lisa) Strunk, Luke (Stephanie) Dobbs; his sons, Adam Sheeder and Justin (Shelley) Sheeder and Charlie's daughter, Jacquline; four grandchildren, Savanah, Skylar, Zoey, and Mia; his brother Bill (Gayle) Sheeder; sister Linda (Griff) Smith, many nieces and nephews, and his dear friends Dave Dobbs and Shawn Donahue who helped him so much and his special fur baby Pippi.

He was preceded in death by his parents and his brother Danny.

Charley will be missed by all who knew him. May he Rest in Peace now.
