Charla was born 11/17/1981 and left this world on 4/24/2024. Charla was an exceptional and loving mother, daughter, sister, aunt, granddaughter, niece, and friend. Charla always made you feel special. She was so funny and could keep you laughing you could never be sad when she was around. Charla was an awesome cook and could build anything she set her mind on. Everything Charla determined in her mind to do, she done it with great pride and excellency. Charla started her Navy career as an E3 and worked her way up to a CWO3 in her twenty-three years of service to the US Navy. Charla wore her uniform with pride and dignity. Charla always went above and beyond whatever her task may have been. We miss our girl deeply; words cannot even express the loss of this wonderful soul. Until we meet again our precious daughter, we will always remember the wonderful and special person that you were. You would always say" I try so hard " . You were a giver,  and you gave all you had. 

Loving and remembering you always,

Mama Daddy, Dylan and Family

Jason was born on June 9th 1986 and brought nothing but joy to our lives from the moment he entered this world.  Jason was a constant thread of love as a son, brother, husband and father who viewed life through a lens of optimism.  Jason had a contagious smile and unwavering determination, he pursued his passions and inspired all of us with his unique spirit.  

In his journey through life, he exhibited a resilience that was nothing short of remarkable, facing his challenges, he stood tall, facing them with courage and grace.  With determination and perseverance, Jason pursued his dreams, carving out a path of success that was built  on hard work, dedication and belief in his abilities.

Jason’s legacy will live on leaving footprints of love and kindness wherever he went.  My beloved son, your journey on this earth was a beautiful symphony of love, joy and inspiration.  You will forever be in our hearts.  Love from Mom and Lisa.

We are proud of your service to our Nation. I love and miss you with all my heart-Odessa.

Sabrina, my beautiful blued-eyed angel.  

You greeted this world wide awake at 6:00 a.m. on the dot.  You used to love to read before you could “actually” read.  You loved to sing, dance and you were quite the little actress. Snowboarding, fishing, camping and most outdoor sports were among your many interests.  You rarely turned down an opportunity to volunteer, complete a puzzle, play a board game or accept a challenge to a game of spades. You had a passion for photography as well as crafting and crocheting.  You were a runner and completed the Seattle “Rock N Roll” half-marathon. 

You never accepted anything less than an “A” grade on your assignments, received your Bachelor’s in Criminal Justice and were on your way to achieving your Master’s in Forensic Psychology.

I grew to realize that you had found your niche in the Army; receiving several awards, decorations and medals, most notably, the Eighth Army Soldier of the Year Award and the Meritorious Service Medal.

You never missed an opportunity to make someone else smile.

You loved your country, the Army, the JAG, your soldiers, animals (stuffed or otherwise), your friends, your family and especially your daughter.

I have always been so proud of you and feel incredibility blessed to be your Momma.  You were the most amazing daughter and a beautiful soul!

To ShaCool,

There hasn’t been a day we haven’t said your name or missed your smile. Every day is a constant reminder of how precious and short life can be there is an emptiness that can’t be filled since you’ve been gone but we will work every day to make you proud as you did all of us! Fair Winds and Following Seas Seaman Bell! We Love you.

Written in love by his mother,

Stephanie Clavon
