Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute.
Charles David Niederquell, age 84, of Lawrenceville, GA, went home to be with his Lord and Savior on July 28, 2020. Charles was born on April 21, 1936 in Chicago, Illinois to Jacob and Emily Niederquell.
He is preceded in death by his parents; his brother, Jack Niederquell; and two sisters, Esther Niederquell and Mary Meyer.
He is survived by his two sisters, Ruth Kelly and Helen (John Leonard); his children, Dawn Whitley, Teresa Neal (Kevin) and Laura Niederquell; grand children, Tim Niederquell, Desiree Neal, Danielle Neal, and Kevin David Neal; great grandchildren, Amelia Bouck, Elaina Bouck and Inara Neal; and best friend, Ricky Whitley.
Charles was a compassionate man who had an amazing sense of humor. A lifelong truck driver who played the alto saxophone, and later retired to touch the hearts of special needs children as their bus driver. He loved animals and his favorite were Dobermans. There was never a person or animal that he wasn’t kind to. He had more than his fair share of hardships and struggles and paid more than enough for wrongdoings he had never done. But through it all, he set an amazing example of love, forgiveness, charity and compassion for his children and those that knew and loved him. Charles went to see the Lord, peacefully in his sleep, bringing a lot of good works along, surrounded by love.
“1 Peter 4:8 And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover a multitude of sins.”

To all those whose lives were touched by Charles David Niederquell, especially my sisters Dawn, Teresa and Laura, I offer my heartfelt condolences. Although I just recently met my father for the first and only time, he left an impression on me that will last a lifetime. I hope your memories of him will bring you comfort until you see him again.
And 1 Peter 4:8 is a beautiful passage. May we all try to live it every day.
Carol says
I am so sorry for your loss. Chuck held a special place in my heart even though I hadn’t seen or talked to him for many years. I did have a chance to speak to him before he passed and I cherish the memory. Rest In Peace until we meet again.

“He who writes upon these walls rolls his shit in little balls. He who reads these words of wit eats those little balls of shit.”
My grandpa was my favorite part of life for many years when I was young and being abused by my mother and her so-called “man.” Too bad he never really knew the extent of the abuse, he might have stepped in. Who am I kidding, he knew all about Bryan and did nothing. I wish I could have spent some time with my grandpa before he died.
I see I don’t get a survivor’s mention. That’s ok, “mom.” Your secret sins will be fully exposed real soon. Oh, and I owe you a visit too. You still shacked up with Tom on Dogwood?
Tim says
Grandpa sure was sunshine in our lives! I remember that quote “Jake” made from Papa. Always cracked us up no matter how many times he said it. Hahaha that man always knew how to make us laugh even while we were going through the BS that we went through.
About that, I’m only upset at you that you blame our Mom. It seems like the real vendetta is against Bryan. I absolutely agree! She didn’t know BECAUSE she worked all the time! To put us through private school and have good Christmases whatever. Bryan abused us… not Mom!
But seeing how this is about Grandpa and his amazing ability to give us love and smiles…. not to mention all those awesome donuts. Lets not write about this here because I feel its disrespectful to someone we love and care about in our hearts.
My number is the same it has been for 8 years. 850-363-3001. I know we talked for a little bit while I was in Cali and what not. Just, let’s respect grandpa.

Little Laura says
He loved both of you boys. I remember him telling me about teaching you boys how to drive a 5 speed. I don’t think anyone had it good but we make the choice to become; and, do better then what we started out with.
Charlie is with Jesus. I have no doubt about that. Through it all he tried to make the best of every situation with what he knew to do.
