In his journey, Charles found companionship and love with his life companion, Virginia (Jenny) Wolverton, and he leaves behind countless longtime friends, each touched by his warmth and generosity, too numerous to list but deeply valued.

Charles T. Steffens's departure marks the end of a chapter, but his spirit lives on in the lives he touched and the love he shared. May his soul find eternal peace in the embrace of the Divine.
