Charles Robert Haeuser

Charles Haeuser, 53, of Caledonia, Wis., was welcomed in the hands of the Lord and taken home for eternal rest on Dec. 2, 2022.

Chuck is survived by his sons  Aleksander and Samuel Haeuser and his wife of 22 years, Lisa Haeuser. He is also survived by his parents LeRoy (Lori) and Joyce Haeuser; his brother Lee Haeuser, his sisters Shelly Gambino and Paula Parkman; and his stepsisters Victoria Haggenmiller and Monica Reimer.

Chuck served as a U.S. Marine from 1991 to 1994. He was a man of honor and proud of serving the country he loved.  Chuck was a patriot and so very proud to be one.

Chuck made an everlasting impact on those around him, and they will continue to tell his jokes and share laughter in his memories. Chuck was a bright light on this earth and a faithful believer in God. He was a dreamer, and stubborn as a mule. There wasn’t a human being on earth capable of telling Chuck he couldn’t do something. While sometimes butting heads with his also stubborn relatives, he always forgave, apologized and moved forward with love and laughter. Chuck was true and honest with himself. He had a special, interpersonal relationship with God that gave him the strength and courage to lift up those around him. As he would say, “Love is all you need.” We love you, Chuck.

Chuck was preceded in death by his nephew Andrew Haggenmiller.

A church service will be held on Jan. 6 at Holy Communion Lutheran Church, 2000 West 6th St., Racine, at 11 a.m.

Inurnment with military honors will be held at 1 p.m. Jan. 6 at Southern Wisconsin Memorial Cemetery, 21731 Spring St., Union Grove. All are welcome.
