Born December 16, 1956, in Buffalo, New York, the son of Wilbert Carl and Charlotte Meta (Eichler) Hoefert. He was a 1974 graduate of Margaretta High School and later attended The Ohio State University.
Chuck had worked for Erie County Maintenance Department for over 20 years before retiring in 2010. He later went on to work at Ventra Sandusky before retiring again in 2023.
He will be remembered for his one-of-a-kind sense of humor and his knowledge of "Rock and Roll." Rooting for Guardians and Buffalo Bills very loudly. He is already greatly missed by his whole family. He was well known by many he called friends. Chuck will also be remembered for how he loved traveling, especially with his wife, going on trips around the country to see family and his many friends.
He is survived by his lovely bride, Susan "Sue" (Riley) Hoefert, who was his faithful companion for the last 30 years, having recently celebrated their anniversary June 28, 2025. Chuck was very proud of his three children, Matthew Charles Hoefert, Jennifer (Craig) Bilbrey, and Charlotte Hoefert. He was also a very proud papa to five grandchildren, Caleb Hoefert, Elijah and Emily Bilbrey, and Alice and Layla Hoefert.
Chuck was preceded in death by his parents; and his son, Matthew Charles Hoefert (October 2023).
It was his wish to be cremated and to have no funeral service. The family will have a visitation for Chuck from 4-7 p.m. Saturday, July 12, 2025, at David F. Koch Funeral and Cremation Services, 520 Columbus Avenue, Sandusky.

I met Chuck and Sue when my band played their Dartball banquet. Great people, and we had the honor of playing their wedding. RIP, Chuck, and condolences to Sue. Really enjoyed playing at your wedding.

I remember Chuck when he worked at the Erie County Building. He was always smiling and cheerful. Very nice person. One day my co-worker and I were having lunch in the basement breakroom when when she collapsed at the table. We were the only two down there having lunch and no cell service. I got on the elevator and the first person I saw was Chuck. I told him what happened and went back down to attend to my friend. Chuck called the rescue squad and stood by and directed them to the downstairs breakroom. I will always remember and appreciate his calmness during that time! May he rest in peace.
