Charles Buchanan McPherson
March 3, 1941 - March 31 201
Charles Buchanan McPherson, age 77, passed away on Saturday, March 31 2018 at Penrose Hospital in Colorado Springs.
Charles (Chuck) was a wonderful father to his sons, and was a devoted grandfather to his 4 grandchildren. Chuck was a steadfast friend to many other people in his circle of acquaintances. These included his past colleagues, his lunch and breakfast buddies, the neighborhood folks both current and also with those that have moved on to other locations over the years.
He was born on March 3, 1941 in Colorado Springs to his mother, Jane and his father, William S. McPherson Jr. who are both deceased.
Growing up in the Springs he attended various District 11 schools graduating in 1959 in the last class to go through the Colorado Springs High School - now Palmer High School. He then attended the Colorado State College - now the University of Northern Colorado - where he earned a B.S. Degree in Business Administration. After graduation Chuck returned home to the Springs where he worked in various capacities for CIG, Job Service of Colorado, started a private employment firm, and then worked with Excell Consulting until retiring. Upon retirement he dabbled in a variety of roles including Medicare Sales that fed his desire to work with and help people and establish more professional relationships.
He married Jean Kathryn McPherson (Sanderson), in October, 1963 in Colorado Springs. They then made their home in Colorado Springs and were involved in many sectors of the local scene both professionally and philanthropically.
Charles McPherson is survived by his son, Shawn McPherson of Colorado Springs; his son, Kevin McPherson and daughter-in-law, Elizabeth McPherson of Woodland Park; and his beloved grandchildren. He is also survived by Jasper, who is now part of a larger pack in Woodland Park, and the memories of countless pets who are surely happy to see him again... Especially if he is feeding them from the table.
A Memorial Service will be held in the Spring of 2018 for Chuck, with the date and location to be determined.
