I am so very sorry, dear family. Chuck was always so kind to me and he loved Kathie dearly. It was my great pleasure to sing at Chuck and Kathie’s wedding. My family and I will be praying for yours in the months to come.

I only knew Chuck for a short time. We attended worship and Sunday school together. Chuck was warm spirited and easy to talk to. He was secure in his faith and loved Jesus. I will regret not getting to know him on a deeper level. Chuck has received the greatest reward of life but he will be missed here on earth.

Nothing I can say or do can dull your pain, fill the void, or undo your loss. I know though that our God is awesome. He will see you and your family through this devastating loss. Praying for comfort, peace and strength.

We are shocked and sadden at this news. Chuck was very active in many projects for the Extension Master Naturalists and a delight to work with. He willingly shared his time and talents with the greater KC community. His passion and love of nature will truly be missed and a loss for us all.

So sad for Kathie and his children. I was fortunate to have been Chuck's co-worker at Larkin Group in 1990s and became a hunting buddy. I would never start a description of Chuck as just an accomplished civil engineer but would lead with him being a devoted family man and Christian. He will be missed by many, many people. Taken into God's kingdom of heaven far too soon for those that remain behind.

Chuck and Kathie were our neighbors when i was just a kid. They where always so kind and welcomed me into their home more times than I count. It was the invitation to come try our their church In Great Bend that gave me and my family such a strong faith in God and his church. That foundation we saw Chuck set for his family forever changed us. Prayers for all of the family, sending all my thoughts to you in this time of grief.

We are so sorry to hear about your terrible loss. Chuck was a good man and will be missed. There are never clear reasons why God chose to take Chuck home at this time. Psalm 116:15 says “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints” May knowing that your husband and father is in his forever home with his risen Savior bring you comfort during these difficult times.

My condolences to Kathie and the entire Bartlett family. My heart hurts with yours. Chuck was an admired leader, a top-notch engineer, and an inspirational teacher and mentor. His contributions to Benesch’s Value Management Program are immeasurable. But most importantly, Chuck was simply a “good guy” that lived his life showing others how to be a loving husband and father. Rest in peace, Chuck. Until we meet again…

Heartfelt condolences to Kathy and the entire Bartlett family. I’ve had the fortune of working with Chuck on various projects over the past many years. He had that great and uncommon blend of technical excellence with an unassuming, down-to-earth approach. A team was instantly better with Chuck in the room. I consider myself very blessed to have known him. Thank you Chuck. Rest in peace.

So sorry to hear this news. I have such fond memories of Chuck. He was older than me, but he was always very kind and friendly to me when I was a kid (unlike some of the other guys his age!). When I think of him, I think of his positivity, his smile and laugh, and his high character and integrity. My thoughts and prayers are with the family. Such a wonderful person.

A fellow Master Naturalist ,Shawnee ,Kansas

I have known Chuck only since we began the training for the Master Naturalist program, however we have worked closely since then on the stream team. I'll relate one interaction. I mentioned to Chuck that I had an idea for a new project while we were monitoring a stream. At the end of the effort, Chuck suggested we talk some more about the idea over coffee. By the time we finished the coffee, we had a basic plan in place. Not only was we supportive but he jumped in to make the project happen. His unique talents and background were complimentary and we made an excellent team. The project is ongoing and successful. It would not have happened without Chuck's help. On another level, I always found Chuck to be kind and he was one of most considerate people I have worked with. He combined passion for the environment with an engineer’s practical approach. He will be missed.

I am so deeply sorry for your entire family. Chuck was patient, kind, and an excellent example of a gentleman. I am so grateful I had the opportunity to work with him. He will be missed by many.

Fellow Volunteer ,Lenexa ,Kansas

I was so sad to hear of Chuck's passing. I met Chuck my first year of volunteering with the Extension Master Naturalist. We both served on the Stream Team testing Johnson County water locations. He was so kind and welcoming to me as a young volunteer learning the ropes. He taught me how to do some of the key water samples and measurements. He was a valued part of our small team and it won't be the same without him. It was so neat to see his care for the natural world and his spending his free time caring for God's creation. (I have included a couple photos of him teaching the new volunteers and out in the Stream.)

Praying for comfort for Kathie and family as you celebrate Chuck's life. Chuck was gifted with the rare ability to work with all kinds of people. His kind and gentle approach allowed him to pull great ideas out of the toughest of people. He always brightened my day every time we spoke, and it was usually sharing a great story about Kathie, the kids and hunting. May God bless and keep you all.

I cannot express the sadness I feel at the passing of Chuck. He was the first person I met at Benesch and was the one who basically hired me in 2012. Not only were we co-workers, I consider Chuck a dear friend. I send all my prayers of comfort to you Kathie and all of Chuck's family. May God Bless You in this time of sorrow.
