Charlie Volpi, 74

Charles (Charlie) Frank Volpi, 74, passed away in Hospice care on Dec. 28, 2025, with his wife, Julie, at his side. He passed peacefully due to an extended illness.

He was born April 11, 1951, in Paso Robles, Calif., where he attended high school and where he married Julie in 1990.

Charlie was a finish plumber known in his hometown as the most accomplished in the area. People enjoyed being around Charlie, with his ready smile, sense of humor and entertaining stories to tell. 

He is described by those who knew and loved him as being loyal and always willing to help others in any way he could. He was a devoted and loving husband to Julie for 35 years. Riding his Harley, fishing, gardening and canning were just a few of his loves. Attending drag races and every hometown football game with buddies added to his full and happy life. He sure was a die-hard Raiders fan!  

Julie would like to thank Hospice of North Idaho, doctors and nurses, and friends who visited and cared for Charlie.

Charlie was preceded in death by his parents, Frank and Ida Mae Volpi, of Paso Robles, Calif. He is survived by his wife, Julie; his sister, Carol Lee Huntington; and his many friends. All who knew and loved Charlie are already missing him greatly.

His life celebration will occur at a later date.
