“Been There, Done That, No Regrets”

Ervin (Chuck) Colwell, born in Bisbee, Arizona June 27, 1931 and passed away November 23, 2021. Survived by his wife of 62 years, Bernice (Bernie), and children Susan, Sharon, Daniel, Michael and Karen. Eight grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.

Chuck lived life to the fullest and never backed down from a challenge, from flying model airplanes to piloting small aircraft. From a naval combat cameraman to a successful career as a cinematographer in Hollywood before retiring to Arizona in 1990.

Chuck enjoyed waterskiing in his younger days along with traveling the country and playing golf with his wife. He loved the holidays, especially Christmas when he would come up with creative ways to surprise his wife and kids with gifts.

Chuck was a very giving and generous man, and it wasn’t uncommon for him to lend a helping hand to a complete stranger. Chuck will be forever missed, but never forgotten.

At his prior request, there will be no visitation or funeral.
