Chuck Rushby, of Williamsburg, died April 29, 2014. He was 43.
Following five years of service in the U.S. Coast Guard, Mr. Rushby completed his mechanical engineering degree at North Carolina State University in 1999. After graduation, Mr. Rushby and his wife moved to Williamsburg where he began his engineering career at Newport News Shipyard. He worked with several engineering firms in the Hampton Roads area before founding CxAnalytics, a building commissioning company in Williamsburg.
His favorite pastime was spending time with his daughter, Chloe. They loved to ride their bicycles to the bagel shop every Saturday morning and play chess. There was always something to be created (or destroyed), rockets to launch, boats to paddle, stars at which to gaze or woods to be explored. He was an avid cyclist and started competing in triathlons before his cancer diagnosis in 2012.
He will be remembered as an extraordinary father and husband, talented engineer, loyal friend and loving son and brother. He brought joy to all who knew him and will be deeply missed.
He was born in Plattsburgh, N.Y. on Nov. 7, 1970, and is survived by his wife of 19 years, Jeannie; daughter, Chloe; parents, Walter and Dorothy Rushby, of Port Henry, N.Y.; sister, Tina O’Hanlon, of Albany, N.Y.; brothers, Walt Rushby, of Moriah, N.Y., Tom Rushby, of Elizabethtown, N.Y. and Jeff Rushby, of Keeseville, N.Y.; nephews, Brian O’Hanlon and Jeremy Rushby; nieces, Kaleigh O’Hanlon, Megan Rushby and Cassidy Rushby; and parents-in-law, George and Faye Tarkington.
In lieu of flowers, please make donations in his memory to Williamsburg Baptist Church in Williamsburg, Sawyer’s Creek Baptist Church in Camden, N.C. or to a charity of your choice.
