Charles “Chuck” Allen Haxton, 57, of Peru passed away at his residence on September 22, 2026.
He was born in Peru to the late Andrew Lee and JoAnn (Howard) Haxton on July 10, 1969.
Chuck graduated from Vincennes University and later returned to work for the university as a CAD draftsman for 12 years being involved in designing and building multiple buildings, dorms, and beautiful decorative university fountains/landscaping. Chuck’s legacy in this world will be the “behind the scenes Chuck touch” at Vincennes University. After being forced into retirement, due to his health, in his free time, Chuck enjoyed going to hard rock concerts (especially with his cousin Bobby Lilley), shooting pool, fishing and golfing (even achieving a hole in one during his lifetime that he often reminded his brother). He was known for being a huge fan of the Chicago Bears. Although he was married and divorced 3 times, his greatest love in life was his family and his niece and nephews.
Chuck leaves behind his brothers, Andrew (Jill) Haxton of Fort Wayne, Sean Haxton of Peru, sister, Crystal Haxton of Peru, nieces and nephews; Cody Haxton, Connor Haxton, Madeline Haxton, and Samuel Haxton all of Fort Wayne, step-mother, Cleo Haxton of Peru, aunts and uncles; Jane Lilley of Peru, Jerry Howard of California, Janet Quinn of Peru, Janice Depoy of Kokomo, Joseph Howard of Peru, Jeff Howard of Peru, and 16 cousins all of whom he loved deeply. Also surviving is his beloved dog, Bear.
