Peter Micheal Charnley

Peter Michael Charnley, passed away peacefully on May 8, 2025, at the age of 63. Born in Lynn, MA, on September 4, 1961, son of Bruce Charnley and Mary (Swahn) Barber.

Peter is survived by his sisters, Kathryn McGehee (and husband, Carl) of Green Forest, and Susan Anderson (and her husband, Andy), of Eureka, CA, and one brother, Joseph Charnley (and his wife Rose) of South Deerfield, MA.

His early years in Lynn fostered a deep connection with family that would remain a constant throughout his life. After moving to Green Forest, Peter started his respected career as a truck driver for Carroll County Solid Waste. 

Those who knew Peter understood his love for the outdoors. He was an avid fisherman, often found by the banks of a river or lake, patiently waiting for the next catch. His joy in cooking and grilling was another facet of his personality.
 
Peter was a man of few words, his loyalty knew no bounds, whether it was to his family, his friends, or the animals he so dearly loved. A dependable brother, a caring friend, and a compassionate soul, Peter's presence was a source of stability for many.

Cremation arrangements have been entrusted to Smith Family Funeral Home of Green Forest. Online condolences may be made at www.smithfamilyfuneralhome.net
