Chucky Laster

Chucky Laster was born June 3, 1981, in Rockford, Illinois. Those public records and local notices place him firmly in the Rockford community where he lived into his thirties. By the time of his death on July 7, 2018, Chucky was 37 years old — a man known to neighbors and recognized in local reports that identified him by name after a tragic, untimely death.

Public documentation about Chucky’s personal life in newspapers and cemetery records is limited in the public record. What is verifiable is that he was a Rockford native whose life and loss were noted by local news and memorial resources. Even where details are sparse, the fact that Chucky’s name appears in community records and remembrance sites indicates he mattered to people who knew him: family members, friends, and neighbors who remember everyday interactions, conversations, and the small kindnesses that make up a life.

Though the public sources do not provide an extended biography, it is appropriate to honor Chucky as a real person with ties to Rockford — someone whose life cannot be reduced to the circumstances of his death. He is recorded in the local cemetery database and news reports, and those traces mark a life lived among a community that has felt his absence.

For family, friends, and all who remember him: Chucky’s life is remembered here with respect. Where public records are limited, this memorial holds space for personal memories, photographs, and stories that family or friends may wish to share to give a fuller picture of who he was — the relationships, small moments, and the human presence that defined his life in Rockford.
