In Memory Of

Charles Gabaldon age 87, of Helena

June 8, 1928 – February 1, 2016

Charlie Gabaldon peacefully went to meet his Savior on Monday, February 1, 2016. He is survived by his wife, Tessie, son, Robert, and daughters, Rosemary and Gloria; 3 grandsons: Jack Cuellar, Dominic Lesueur, and Gabriel Gabaldon; and 2 great-grandsons, Alex Cuellar and Ezekiel A. Gabaldon.

Charlie was a self-made man, born to very humble beginnings. He was self-educated, learned much from his life experiences, and achieved many successes but always remained humble. He believed his greatest achievements were his descendants and were very proud of their accomplishments. He is fondly remembered by his “adopted families” at the farmer’s market, church, and the community of friends he made in Helena.

Services will be held on Tuesday, February 9, 2016, at 11:00 a.m. at the York Community Center 640 Nelson Rd., York, Montana. Please visit below to offer the family a condolence or to share a memory of Charlie.

    Dear Robert and Family,

    I will always remember and be grateful for the kindness and acceptance you and your father, Charlie, showed me during the time I went to Carroll College.

    You all are in my thoughts and prayers – may God Bless You All and grant you peace and strength during this difficult time.

    Sincerely,

    Jim Cottingham… Or as Charlie used to say: “The Tall Man”

    This makes me very sad to see Charlies passing. He always had a hug for me. Always asked about my life and my girls. I will miss seeing him at the markets. Peace to your family.
