Charles (Charlie) Leo Rehmert
ODESSA - Charles Rehmert, affectionately known as Charlie, lost the battle of cancer after 10 months, and passed away Sept. 10, 2002. He had requested that he be at home, surrounded by his family and his beloved cats, Little Girl and Boo Boo.
Charlie was born in St. Louis, Mo., April 14, 1942, and attended schools there and enlisted in the U.S. Air Force. While in the Air Force, he was a radar man and served in the Vietnam conflict. In 1972 he moved to the Permian Basin and started working in the oilfield both locally and over-seas. Leaving production in the oilfield, he called upon the radar experience and became a computer tech in the petroleum industry. He recently completed his 20th year with Exxon and leaves many fine friends all over the United States.
Trains, the cats, travel, the computer and golf were Charlie’s pastimes, and he would brag about watching the sunsets while on the links with good friends. Though he did not get to enjoy his dream of setting up a rail yard in the hobby area of his home, he has many collectible trains his family has given him and that he procured.
He was preceded in death by his beloved father Charles; his good friend and father-in-law, James Mayfield; and his mother. Surviving is his wife of almost 25 years, Patricia Rehmert of Odessa; sons, Royce Payne and David Payne of Odessa; and daughter, Tina Broughton of Amarillo and their families; his two daughters, Helen Martin of Arnold, Mo., and Sharon Wofe of St. Louis, Mo.; stepmother, Allyne Rehmert of Oklahoma City, Okla.; as well as 10 grandchildren.
The family will receive visitors at the Sunset Memorial Gardens Funeral Home today, between the hours of 6 and 8 p.m. The service will be held Friday, September 13, at 2 p.m. with the Rev. Jimmy Braswell officiating. Honorary pallbearers are Joe Neeper, Terry Lambdin, Larry Roan, Doug Gressett, David Fix, Harry Turner, Ron Stewart and Rusty Freeman.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Home Hospice of Odessa or the American Cancer Society.
