One friend remembered him as an “amazing person” and spoke of the many memories they shared, while another person who had known him since childhood described him with affection and offered prayers for his family.
Chuck’s passing was also the subject of a Linn County Sheriff’s Office investigation. Authorities identified him as Charles Thomas Mooney, 38, of Albany, and reported that he was found deceased at a residence west of Albany in June 2021. The sheriff’s office later announced that his death was being investigated as a homicide and that an arrest had been made in connection with the case.

In loving remembrance of Charles “Chuck” Mooney, his memory continues through the people who knew and cared about him. While a public obituary can record a name, a date and a place, it is the stories held by family and friends that give a life its warmth and meaning. Chuck’s memory remains a reminder of the relationships he formed and the lives he touched during his 38 years
