It is with great sorrow that we announce the unexpected passing of Charles Perrier on April 6th, 2024 in Carleton Place, Ontario, at the age of 63. Charles is survived by his loving wife, Penny, his daughters Celine (Dongjun) and Felicia (Silas), as well as their mother, Bonnie (Shawn). Also survived by his step-daughters Emily and Katy (Allen). Loving grandpapa to Bennett and Maddy.
Son of Edna Bastien and the late Albert Perrier. Survived by his sister Lucie (Gerard Lynch). Pre-deceased by his sister Rachel (late Gerry Dozois). He also leaves his nephew Joel and niece Stephanie as well as many relatives and friends.
Charles worked for over thirty years with the Parliamentary Protective Service, forming many life-long friendships along the way. He was a very active and dedicated member at the Heritage Fitness Centre. Charles will be remembered for his great sense of humour, hilarious antics, his avid following of the Boston Bruins, and his peaceful demeanour. He was extremely well-read and very knowledgeable across a multitude of topics. He will be deeply missed by all.
In lieu of flowers, donations to Carleton Place and District Memorial Hospital or the Ottawa Heart Institute would be appreciated. Heart-felt thanks for the wonderful care and support received from the ER team, and Nurse Iris, at CPDMH.
To honour Charles's wishes, a memorial service will take place in the privacy of his immediate family.

I was shocked and saddened to hear of my friend’s passing. Charles was an amazing person. Always in a good mood with an infectious smile that made him a gentle giant. His love for Penny knew no bounds…he always called her the love of his life. I remember our conversations about the Bruins, country music, his kids, and of course work. He had a big heart…full of empathy, sensitivity and loyalty. God Bless your soul Charles Perrier. My deepest condolences to Penny and his family.

From a very early age I looked up to my big cousin and loved him very much. He helped shape me into the person I am today. I am very privileged to have had such a great cousin growing up.

Je n’oublierai jamais tous les moments magnifiques que j’ai passés avec lui. Je l’admirais énormément. Il a joué un rôle majeur dans la formation de qui je suis aujourd'hui en tant que personne (mon sens d’humour, curiosité des mystères du monde, et tellement plus).
Je pense à vous et je vous embrasse fort.

Charles … Repose en paix mon cher collègue.
Je vais manquer nos dialogues sur les festivals de musique country qui nous avions et qui te passionnait. Tu me connaissais comme guitariste et tu ne manquais une chance de parler avec un vrai. J’aurais aimé te revoir et approfondir ces discussions qui t’allumait. J’aurais aimé connaître davantage tes goûts musicaux. Mais voilà, tu étais prêt pour ta grande retraite. Ainsi en décide la vie. Milles après milles!
Charles…Repose en paix mon cher.
