Charles "Richey" "Chuckie" R. Tegethoff, Jr., 58, of Zephryhills, Florida passed away unexpectedly Sunday, November 19, 2023 at his home. Richey was born December 19, 1964 in Lansing, Michigan to Charles R. Sr. and Katheryn (Durbin) Tegethoff. Known as Richey to his Michigan family and Chuckie to his Florida family, he loved to be outside from an early age spending countless hours with the family dog Blondie, his sister Sandy and cousins Dennel and Connie having adventures from sunup until sundown. Rarely a weekend passed that wasn't spent with his grandparents, Nanny and Pappy (Clyde & Pauline Tegethoff), sister and cousins where laughter and shenanigans were common! As a teenager he loved to hunt, ice fish and snowmobile with friends in Gaylord, Michigan and that love of outdoors continued in his life in Florida where he could enjoy hunting, fishing, bonfires and cookouts in the warm southern sunshine. Richey is survived by his mother, Katheryn Tegethoff of Portland, Michigan, sister Sandy (Jim) Thelen of Westphalia, Michigan, nephew Ethan Thelen of Westphalia, Michigan, many cousins and extended family members and many friends who became family including Jimbo Peddle and Dawn Smith and his dog, Buddy. Richey was preceded in death by his father, Charles R. Tegethoff, Sr., and his grandparents. Richeys wish was to be cremated. A private Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. Arrangements are being handled by Hodges Family Funeral Home, Dade City Florida.
