Charles Corya, born June 18th, 1943 in Minnesota to Frank and Sylvia Corya, passed away January 30th peacefully with daughters Teresa and Stacy at his side.
He was One of five siblings and was a twin. He was raised in Seattle Washington. Charles served in the Army in the mid-sixties as a cook and also discovered he was also a sharpshooter. He worked at DFW Airport for Braniff Airlines for about 15 years as a baggage holder and a skycap at Sea-Tac Airport for about 10 years.
He raised three kids, Teresa Beach of Snohomish, Washington, Stacy Corya of Portland, Oregon, and Donald Corya, who passed away at the age of 5 in a tragic accident. Dad was good for adopting kids that didn’t have a place and Teresa and Donald were just two of them. Leo Tommy was in dad’s heart and added about 25 years ago, and will always be considered as one of our family members. Crystal Hill loved dad was an adored niece that was loyal to the call as dad needed help. Linna Barrett of Seattle who was one of dad’s best 
drinkin buddies passed away a few years ago also had children Johnny barrett of seattle and Lisa and Dwayne Grochowski of federal way he always considered deep family as well. He had five grandchildren Andrew, Gabriella, Olive, Joshua and his sweetheart as he called her Rachel with two great-grandchildren Jack and Norah.
Dad had a very big family and will always be considered that amazing temperamental person who rolled his eyes at you but stuck himself out there to help if you gave him a chance. I call him the most misunderstood person. He loved his Rainier beer and could drink and smoke with the best and really enjoyed his bar time..but the last 10 years he had a beloved and loyal dog named Tessa by his side 24/7. She passed away the end of December suddenly 
which we knew took a toll on him with his already failing health. She was his girl and is also to be remembered as she was the biggest part of his life in the end and gave him the best company ever.
The services will be held February 11th at 2:30 at the Holyrood Cemetery where he will be placed with my brother Donald. All are welcome to attend this special time to honor my dad with a guard and flag folding ceremony
