Charles Patrick Riel Obituary (2024)

Charles (Charlie) Patrick Riel suddenly left us on May 11, 2024 while helping friends, which wasnt an abnormal occurrence for him. He often helped anyone who needed it, whether it be roadside assistance, labor, or food. He had a huge heart. Charlie was born on June 8,1963 and raised in Yakima all his life. In his younger years, he worked for many farmers. In high school, Charlie began working for Snokist and he was there until they closed. He then worked for many different places in Yakima. The last several years, he worked for Morrier Farms and driving "Gertie" the vintage tractor/trailer rig. He really enjoyed it. Charlie was happiest on any tractor, he loved the sound. He had a real passion for old tractors and began to collect them. Charlie also had a huge love for dogs! He raised Borzois for many years. Charlie is preceded in death by his mother Margaret Riel, sister Cynthia Riel, and brother Damian Riel. He is survived by his father Delmer Riel, sister Suzanne Riel, and brother Bryon Riel.
