Charles "Chuck" Timothy Pottie, age 65, passed away peacefully on May 5, 2025, after bravely battling numerous health challenges. Born on December 12, 1959, in Boston, Chuck was the cherished son of Barbara A. Pottie and the late George T. Pottie.
Growing up in Middleton and Chelsea, Chuck attended local schools, eventually graduating from Chelsea High School. A gifted painter by trade, he dedicated many years to his work as an independent commercial painter within the general construction industry. If there was a paintbrush, Chuck was sure to be there, adding his unique touch to countless projects.
Chuck was a vibrant member of his community, known for his friendly demeanor, and he loved being a part of the 5-2 club and the Merrits S.A. clubs, where he often took on the role of bartender. He enjoyed socializing, connecting with friends and family, and always had a great story to share over a cold drink.
He was passionate about classic rock music from the '70s and '80s and was a devoted Boston sports fan, proudly rooting for his teams. Chuck's camaraderie, and genuine spirit will be deeply missed by those who knew him.
He is survived by his loving life-partner of 39 years, Susan B. Melesciuc, and his devoted son, Curtis J. Melesciuc, along with Curtis's girlfriend, Isabella. Chuck is also mourned by his mother, Barbara A. Pottie, his sisters Charlene Akatyszewski, and Cindy A. Focks and her husband, Horst, as well as many nieces, nephews, and grand and great-grand nieces and nephews, all of whom hold cherished memories close to their hearts.
A celebration of Chuck's life will take place at a later date, where friends and family will gather to honor his memory and share stories filled with laughter and love into cherished memories surrounded by those who love him.
Chuck Pottie's spirit will forever live within us, reminding us to laugh, love, and embrace life fully.
