Charles was born April 11, 1943 in Cherokee, Oklahoma to Roy Hutchinson and Bessie (Kendall) Hutchinson. He attended Cherokee Schools and after graduation devoted his time to farming.
His greatest joy in life was watching his grandsons participate in rodeos, and spending time with his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He enjoyed camping at the lake and riding his motorcycle. One of his favorite things to do was people watching. He was also an avid pool player and won many tournaments. In his later years he traded his motorcycle for a riding mower and thoroughly enjoyed mowing his son’s property. He was proud to serve as a volunteer fireman for the Disney Fire Department in Disney, Oklahoma for several years.
Charles is preceded in death by his parents, his wife Sue Hutchinson; two sisters, Betty Munsell and Barbara Hawley; one brother, Jack Hutchinson; and nephew, Shannon Hutchinson.
He is survived by his children, son Chip Hutchinson and wife Debi, of Wichita, Kansas, daughter, Tina Hutchinson of Wichita, Kansas; two sisters, Linda Roller, of Enid, Oklahoma; Joyce Tidwell, of Claremore, Oklahoma; six grandchildren, Cindie Hutchinson, Paige Maggard, Corey Hutchinson, Travis Decker, Sammi Hutchinson and Mariah Hutchinson, all of Kansas.
