Charles Edward Westbrook

Charles Edward Westbrook was born September 16, 1942 in Village Mills, TX and passed away Sunday, July 23, 2017 in Beaumont where he was a long time resident with wife and family.

Chuck, as he was fondly known to those close, was in the Navy and worked for Zapata offshore oil drilling, with both bringing him to faraway lands. A loving father of one son and three girls, and a fun and outgoing grandfather of 12 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren, Charles always had a bearhug for the kids and a quip or two for the road...or perhaps the “freeway.”

He is preceded in death by his father and mother Escar and Bertha Westbrook; his son, Donny Westbrook; two grandsons and brothers, Christopher and Joshua Jones.

Charles is survived by his wife Donna Westbrook and brother Tom Westbrook; his three daughter’s Charlotte Westbrook, Tammy Jones, Candy and husband Leonard Guidry.

He leaves behind 10 grandchildren: Dewayne Guidry, Greg Guidry, Holly Westbrook, Amber Winchester, Matt Westbrook, Karen Porter, Jon Jones, Nikki Jones, Kacy Jones and Krista Porter; and 12 great grandchildren: Jordyn Fowler, Nate Winchester, Emma Winchester, Haydon Jones, Tristan Jones, Emalie Jones, Ryder McFarland, Braxton Jones, Jacob Guidry, Hailey Guidry, Caleb Guidry and Corey Guidry.

With a western novel close by, like his mother and son, or a John Wayne movie on the ever increasing sized Television screens, Charles will always be remembered with love and fond memories.
