Charles R. Kaltenbach

Charles “Charlie” Richard Kaltenbach, of Warsaw, entered into eternal rest on Friday, September 25, 2026, at Parkview Regional Medical Center in Fort Wayne, surrounded by family at the age of 82. He was born on March 10, 1944, in Quincy, Illinois, the son of Nicholas and Goldie Kaltenbach (MaGee).

Charlie was a devoted family man whose life was marked by love and a warm sense of humor. He married Sharon on October 16, 1982, and remained deeply devoted to her throughout the years. They were always there for each other no matter what. Those who knew him will remember him as a jokester and prankster who could bring laughter to those around him, while also being a good listener whose presence offered comfort and understanding.

He worked as a maintenance supervisor in RV production in Goshen. Outside of work, Charlie found enjoyment in golf, woodworking, and yardwork. He also loved traveling back to Quincy, Illinois to see family and had a home in Sebring, Florida. Music was another pleasure in his life, and he especially enjoyed listening to the Gaither’s on the porch.

Charlie’s family was his greatest joy. He is survived by his wife of 44 years, Sharon Kaltenbach; by their children, Delena Kaltenbach (Harold), Pamela Jones (Darren), Jim Crenshaw (Deb), Chad Kaltenbach (Paul), Todd Pippenger (Sherri), Laura Campbell (Scott), Kim Hurd (Jeff), and Shawnee Greene; 27 grandchildren; 43 great grandchildren; and by his siblings, Bill Kaltenbach and Virginia Graham. He also leaves behind the many memories shared with those he loved most, and the lasting impression of a man whose humor, attentiveness, and devotion to family will not be forgotten.

He was preceded in death by his parents, sons, Charles Kaltenbach Jr. and Garen Allen Kaltenbach; daughter, Kristina Blocher; and brother, Russell Kaltenbach.
