Charles E Jewell, affectionally known as “Pops” entered into his eternal heavenly home from Ray & Kay Eckstein Hospice Center on July 8, 2024 at 7:07 PM. He was at the age of 76 years, 9 months and 20 days. He was born at Riverside Hospital in Paducah, KY. He was the son of the late James W Sr. and Novella Ruth Jewell.
Charles was of the Baptist faith and accepted Jesus Christ at the young age of 17. He was a 1965 graduate of Paducah Tilghman High School. At the age of 18 he was drafted in the U. S. Army and served in the Vietnam War. He retired from USEC as a maintenance mechanic in 2004.
Charles loved to fish, camp at Kentucky Lake and spend time with his loving family. He was an avid UK Basketball fan. His greatest passion was his excellent knack of BBQing and of course his 3 beautiful grandchildren.
