Charles "Charley" James Dreyer was born 08 Aug 1956 in Philadelphia, PA to Harry William and Alice Theresa (Duaime) Dreyer. He passed from this earth into the loving arms of God on 19 May 2019 at Mercy Hospital in Oklahoma City, OK with his wife Donna and step-son Jay at his side.
He was married to Donna Shepherd on 25 Aug 1989 in Seattle, WA. On that day, he became a husband, father & grandfather when he said "I do". Having no children of his own, he was delighted with the new roles bestowed upon him.
He was preceded in death by his father Harry in 2013, his mother Alice in 2006 and an infant brother in 1950. He is survived by his wife, Donna, of the home. stepchildren Jay, Michael, Bobby & Cherlynn, siblings Harry, Joseph, Edward, Ruth, Mary (his twin) and Thomas. Also by several grandchildren, 4 great grandchildren, many nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins.
In July 2017, Charley was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. Two rounds of chemo and a stem cell transplant only put the lymphoma in remission for a short period of time. In April of this year, we learned the cancer was back.
It was Charley's wish to donate his body to medical science. He did not want a funeral but instead have a family and friends picnic to celebrate his life. When his ashes are returned to his wife, he will be buried in the DeBolt Cemetery, Arnett, OK.
A memorial service picnic will be held Sunday at noon, 02 June, 2019 at the Woodward Moose Lodge. All family members and friends are invited to attend and share "Charley stories".
