Charles Figley Capper, 89, of Beaver, dearly known as “Brub”, passed away in his sleep on August 15, 2024. He was born to Charles and Margaret Capper in April of 1935. He was preceded in death by his sister, Sally Buffington. He is survived by his wife of 50 years, Karen, his five children, Pamela Capper, Chad (Wendy) Capper, Susan Capper, Debbie (Greg) Koepke, Gretchen (Peter) Lang, twelve grandchildren, Nicholas Marks, Chandler Lupo, Allison Capper Falconer (Wiley), Charles Capper (Ava), Spencer Lupo, Andrew Capper, Sally DeVera, Colin DeVera, Jack Lupo, Charlie Lupo, William Koepke, Montgomery Lang, and three great-grandchildren, William, Luke and Matilda Falconer. After graduating from Choate boarding school in Wallingford, Connecticut, he went on to attend Middlebury and Babson Colleges before becoming the President of Damascus Steel Casting Company in New Brighton. Charles was a leader in the community and served on multiple boards, including the United Way of New Brighton, CASA, YMCA of New Brighton, and the Standard Horsenail Company. He was a longtime member of Park Presbyterian church in Beaver, where he also served as a Deacon and Elder. A passionate fan, Charles was a season ticket holder of the Steelers since 1960 and a member of Beaver Valley and Seven Oaks Country Clubs where he loved spending time with his father and friends on the golf course and the 19th hole.
Charles lived his life and faced his mortality on his own terms: steadfast, determined and humble. He was a gentle soul, always a gentleman, a man of few words – but thoughtful with them, and made those around him feel his kind aura. Charles enjoyed fine dining, was a jazz connoisseur and avid drummer – sometimes finagling to join a jazz trio just for a set. Charles spent his final days surrounded by the love of his wife and daughters, Debbie and Gretchen, eating his beloved oysters, listening to his favorite jazz standards while sitting in the sunshine on his last day, even belting out Frank’s famous lyrics “it’s the good life to be free and explore the unknown” and “I did it my way”.
Charles was a most loving father, husband, grandfather and great-grandfather.
