Obituary for Charles H. Brandt
Mr. Charles H. Brandt, age 86 years, of Jefferson City, Mo. passed away surrounded by his family on Saturday, March 31, 2018 at Landmark Hospital in Columbia, Mo.
Charlie was born on September 17, 1931 in Linn, Mo. a son of Peter and Gertrude (Vasen) Brandt. He was married on November 17, 1956 in Westphalia, Mo. to Mary Lou Horstdaniel.
He served in the United States Army as a Sergeant during the Korean War.
A lifelong resident of the central Missouri area, Charlie worked with DeLong's Steel and 36 years with Chesebrough-Ponds retiring as a tool and die maker in 1993. While at Chesebrough-Ponds, he often achieved perfect attendance and trouble shot many problems with their equipment.
He was a faithful member of St. Peter Catholic Church where he was an usher and Eucharist Minister. He and Mary Lou attended eight years of perpetual adoration and had a special devotion to the Rosary. Charlie was a member of the Knights of Columbus, Dan C. Coppin Assembly 573, and a member of the Veteran’s of Foreign Wars, Basinger/Sone Memorial Post 1003.
Charlie loved the outdoors: fishing, gardening, or mushroom, turkey, deer and raccoon hunting. He prided himself on being able to fix most things with his hands. He designed and built their home as well as their cabin on the Osage River. The family cabin was a special place where he loved to fish and entertain. He enjoyed traveling with Mary Lou to the state parks and several apparition sites.
