Charlie Trinchetilla III, 37, of Mount Vernon, formerly of Fox Lake, unexpectedly passed away Saturday, February 12, 2022, at his home.  He was born April 16, 1984, in Waukegan, to Charles Trinchetilla Jr. and Lauren Kribley.

Charlie was a gifted mechanic who enjoyed working on engines of all types of vehicles.  He was known for his great and hilarious sense of humor and his love of food—especially shrimp and lobster.  He grew up on Fox Lake and enjoyed boating and snowmobiling, and loved animals.  Above all, he will be remembered for his big, trusting heart and for being a loving son and brother.
