Life story

Chuck was born November 8, 1959 to Patrick and LaDonna (Latusek) Traynor in Wells, MN. He graduated from Minnesota Lake High School, the class of 1979. Chuck worked for John Deere in Minnesota Lake for several years and then started farming and driving Semi. On September 12, 1987, Chuck was united in marriage to Terriane Thompson and to this union 2 daughters, Heather and Jessica were born. Chuck loved spending time with his family and friends. He enjoyed cooking; he was also a big gardener and canned everything he could, especially his delicious pickles that everyone enjoyed. Fishing and going out to Beyers for Deer Hunting Camp and to help farm was something he looked forward to every year.

He always thought of others before thinking of himself. He was humble and kind and loved with his whole heart. His daughters were his whole world. Chuck had been fighting for several years with numerous health issues and even up to the end he decided to donate as much of himself as possible to Research to try and help out the next person diagnosed with Vexas.
