Charles Joseph Lang IV

Charles Joseph Lang IV (Chuck), age 52, beloved Son, Brother, Friend and World Traveler passed from this world into the next on Saturday morning March 19, 2016, at University of Colorado Hospital in Denver. He leaves behind his partner Mark Rogers, who was at his side. He is survived by his mother Linda S. Lang, Moon Township, Pennsylvania and his sister Claire Lang Ballantyne, West Chester, Pennsylvania. He was preceded in death by his father Charles J. Lang III of Sewickley, Pennsylvania. Born and raised in Sewickley, Pennsylvania, Chuck graduated from Sewickley Academy in 1982. He continued his studies at Babson College in Boston, graduating with a Bachelor of Science from the School of Management. An avid skier, he made his home in the mountain town of Frisco, Colorado. A passionate SCUBA diver, he discovered and nurtured and shared his love for marine life and aquatic environments. Anywhere he went, he would make friends. And anywhere he went, he would take friends. A man of great generosity, boundless compassion and unconditional love. A man whose smile and laugh would light up the room. A man who celebrated acceptance, inclusion and the joy of friendship. At his request, his body has been cremated and in the months to come, there will be a gathering in Summit County, Colorado for Friends and Family to eat, drink and celebrate his life. Details will be forthcoming. In the meantime, and in his honor, in lieu of flowers, he would likely ask that you be kind to one another, be good to one another, and support causes which do the same. Please share memories of Chuck and condolences with the family by signing the guestbook below.
