Charles Aloys Roeseler
Charles “Charlie” Aloys Roeseler passed away suddenly at his home on September 16, 2024, at
the age of 71. He was born in St. Louis, Missouri on August 8, 1953.
He was preceded in death by his father, John, his mother, Marie, his brother, Gerry, and his
grandson, Soren.
Charlie is survived by his loving wife of 29 years Kathi Rae Roeseler.
Charlie was a deeply loved Dad, Poppy, brother, and uncle and will be lovingly remembered by
his children: Scott (Faith) Roeseler, Matt (Laura) Roeseler, Scott Schouviller, Shannon Kister, and
Nicole “Codi” (Scott) Anderson; grandchildren Gabriel (Laura), Aiden, Micah, Nicolas, Jack,
Courtney, Catherine, Colton, Joseph, and Connor; his great-granddaughter, Avery; brothers
John (Beth) Roeseler and Robert (Jane) Roeseler, sister Barbara Roeseler, and sister-in-law April
Roeseler; and his nieces and nephews.
He was a proud member of the St. Louis County Police Department for 33 years and served as
the Captain of the UMSL Police Department for several years.
Charlie was an avid fisherman and woodworker and spent the last two decades building his and
Kathi’s dream home on Lake Norfork in Arkansas with his sons. It was a place of respite and joy
for their children and grandchildren as they made memories at the lake house for years.
He was also a dear cousin, friend, and co-worker who made all those who knew him feel
special.
Services for Charlie will be held on Saturday, November 2nd at Ascension Lutheran Church
(5347 Donovan Ave, St. Louis, MO 63109) Visitation will begin at 9:00 AM followed by a
celebration of life service at 11:00 AM. A luncheon will follow at the church. A private burial will
be held in the future.
Donations in lieu of flowers can be made to The BackStoppers, Inc.
Dearest Family: Charlie was the best man that my sister (Kathi) married. I can say that he made her feel wanted and loved. When Charlie and Kathi came back here to Richland in 2008 for Kathi’s 40th reunion he had a great time seeing where we grew up and I still live. He was there for Kathi’s diagnosis of Alsheimer’s and kept her at home for as long as possible. This is not an easy thing to do, but I loved him more for that. I wish that I could give each of you a hug to ease the pain of loss. Charlie is now with the Lord and is free of any pain. I take great faith in this. May God keep all of you in his arms and you know his love.
I am not physically able to travel long distances now. I miss everyone so much and wish I could see everyone once again.
All my love and god’s blessings. Ann Robbins. Sister to Kathi and sister-in- law to Charlie.
