December 30, 1956 – October 5, 2021
Charles David “Chuck” Hobson, 64, Sheridan, peacefully passed away surrounded by his loving family on Tuesday afternoon, October 5, 2021, at Compassus Hospice in Indianapolis. Born December 30, 1956 in Noblesville, he was the son of Harold and Norma Janiece (Baird) Hobson.
Chuck was a 1975 graduate of Sheridan High School. It was during those years that the 6’ 5” basketball player would lead the Blackhawks in field goal percentage, a record that he held for many years. After graduation he continued with his education, earning his Associates Degree in Business from Indiana Business College. Chuck worked as a machinist for various companies throughout his 40-year career, including Tech Tool, which he proudly owned and operated.
He was a member of the Fishers Indiana Post 470 Sons of the American Legion.
Chuck was a man who enjoyed the simple things in life. He was an avid dart player and loved to hit the road on his Harley every chance he could. He looked forward to and remembered fondly the years he was able to make it out to Sturgis.
Family was a very important part of Chuck’s life.
