Charlie Forkell, 20, of Victor, NY, passed away unexpectedly on June 17, 2025. Born on March 7, 2005, in Rochester, NY, Charlie lived his life bringing joy to others through his kindness, generosity of spirit, and endless enthusiasm for adventure and the outdoors.
A proud graduate of Victor High School, class of 2023, Charlie will always be remembered for his genuine willingness to help others. Friends and family alike were touched by his constant readiness to lend a hand, offer a smile, or simply be there in a moment of need. An avid outdoors enthusiast, Charlie cherished every opportunity to explore, travel, hike, bike, camp, or seek new experiences.
Charlie was happiest when surrounded by loved ones, whether on a soccer field, around a campfire, or enthusiastically pursuing his hobbies – soccer, lifting weights, snowboarding, cars, golf, chasing and photographing sunsets, building legos, watching movies and woodworking. His passion for new experiences, family and friends was proudly seen in every aspect of his life, fueling a love for adventure and freedom that was truly infectious to all around him.
Charlie leaves behind loving parents Amber, Chuck and Kelly; siblings Bella and Noah; grandparents Charlie, Robbie, Maria; Bruce and Nancy, Aunt Malissa ‘Missala’, Uncle Ken, and his cousin Mia; Uncle Andrew and Aunt Bridget, Uncle Josh, Aunt Dulcie and cousins Emmett and Wren, Aunt Mandy, Uncle Stefan and cousins Eve and Elijah, and an extended circle of friends and family who will miss him deeply.
A memorial gathering to honor and celebrate Charlie’s vibrant life will take place on Saturday, June 28th, from 3-6 at Dryer Road Park in Victor, NY. A celebration of life service will be held at First Presbyterian Church in Victor on Sunday, June 29th at 2pm. Those who knew and cherished Charlie are invited to come together to honor his spirit, share memories, and provide comfort and solace to one another.
In memory of Charlie and his zest for life, family and friends are encouraged to embrace each day wholeheartedly, find joy in the simple things, and pass along acts of kindness in his name.

The loss of a child at any age leaves a perpetual hole in a parent’s heart. You are in my prayers and sending hugs. We are strangers but partners in the unanticipated loss of a child

My heart goes out to the Forkell & Fisher family. So deeply sorry for your loss!
I am so sincerely sorry to hear this news! I was Charlie’s third grade teacher, Ms. T, and remember Charlie fondly! He was always such a good kid who worked hard at his school work as well as being a good friend to his peers!
Cindy and I are truly heartbroken to hear about Charlie. I was fortunate enough to meet four generations of Charlie Forkells and they all were kind, caring and possessed strong leadership ability. As I read about Charlie it’s obvious he truly fit the mold. Being a 10 on the soccer team illustrates his character and leadership ability.. My deepest condolences to Chucky, Charlie, Malissa, Amber, Bella, Kelly and Noah and the entire Forkell and Fisher family. Being partners in a similar situation I know that it will take time, love, and patience to handle such a profound loss of a fine young man with such a bright future ahead of him. The only thing that you need to hold onto and no one can take away are your memories and it appears Charlie has provided you plenty. Love, and prayers, Nick and Cindy
I was heartbroken to hear about the loss of Charlie. I cannot begin to imagine the depth of your pain, but please know that my thoughts are with you and your family during this unimaginable time. Sending good energy and smilies.
I do not know you, but I know your loss. I lost a 27 year old daughter 11 years ago. Nothing hurts more than losing a child. No parent should outlive their child.
My prayers are with you. God bless you
I have not been in person worship for a long while but I do know what it feels like to lose a child. Y deepest sympathy to the family of this child so young. God bless you all.
My deepest condolences to all who knew and loved Charlie. I only remember Chuck and Kelly from high school, but… I understand to a reason the grief loss creates. My prayers to all.

I have had YOUR LOVE AND LOSS of CHARLIE IN a Circle of a never ending PRAYER for Jesus to CARRY YOU FOR AWHILE.
What a terrible loss for your family.
My condolences.
So sorry for your loss. Our thoughts are with you.
You were not only a teammate, but a brother. I think of you lots, and when I do, I’m left confused. I’m still not able to accept the fact that you’re truly gone, it’s so weird and upsetting. Pickup and indoor at sports garden & irondequoit won’t be the same without you. You’ve changed the lives of everyone around you in a great way, I’m glad we met brother.
Thoughts and prayers go out to his family as well. Thank you guys for bringing such a wonderful, competitive, and passionate kid into the cobras family. I’ll never forget the moments we’ve had on the pitch together. Praying for you all.
