Charles E. "Charlie" Frahm

September 28, 1939 - June 17, 2020

Charles Edward Frahm was born September 28, 1939 in Wahoo, Nebraska to William C. and Caroline D. (Miller) Frahm. Charlie grew up in the country around Yutan, and attended school in Yutan, graduating from Yutan High School in 1957. Charlie enjoyed riding horses, and playing sports as a young boy, but most of his time was spent trying to stay out of trouble with his siblings on the family farm. Charlie married Kathleen Juilfs on January 28, 1959 at the Court House in Wahoo, and to this union, three daughters were born: Debra, Kelli, and Staci. Charlie and Kathy made their home and raised the girls outside of Yutan. Charlie worked several different jobs through the years, but most of his time was spent as a commercial painter, working for Hormel, or working the farm. He still enjoyed tending to his horses, and he always looked forward to any of the small-town parades and the River City Roundup. Charlie spent several years coaching softball with Roger Swanson, and he loved going to every one of the grandkid’s activities, and playing pool with his brother, Jim. Charlie will be remembered as an ornery, but happy and humorous man, who was extremely generous, and was a gifted story teller. His favorite color was red, and he loved cheering for the Huskers. He appreciated a bowl of ice cream, a trip to Sonic, and maybe an Old Milwaukee Light from time to time, and most weekdays from 12:30-1, he could be found watching his favorite TV show, The Bold and the Beautiful. He cherished the births of his daughters, grandkids, and great grandkids, and didn’t care much for traveling away from home. Most of all, he would do anything for his family. Charlie died at his home outside of Yutan on June 17, 2020 at the age of 80 years, 8 months, and 19 days. He was preceded in death by his parents William & Caroline Frahm, brothers Gerald and his wife Rose Frahm, Don Frahm, and Jim Frahm, sisters-in-law Karen and Jackie Frahm, and son-in-law Roger Layman.
