Charles Curtis Nash, born December 28, 1945, died on June 22, 2025, of heart failure, a complication of diabetes 2. He earned a degree in electrical engineering at the University of Wyoming and worked a variety of jobs related to this, including programming for Ag Extension at the University of Wyoming and more recently independent fair programming for a number of states. He loved most things mechanical, automotive, or electronic and pursued interests in flying, building and construction projects, electronics, ham radio, cars, and 3D printing. He earned his instrument rating in aviation, refinished and repaired cars, worked with model boats and planes, constructed and revamped one greenhouse and numerous buildings, and created 3D objects among other things.
He is survived by his wife, Kathy Nash, two daughters, Kristen Nash (Dave McLaughlin) and Heidi Bellis (Dave Bellis), a sister, Carol Harris, and four grandchildren, Dave and Walter Bellis, and Rose and Iris McLaughlin.
No service is planned at this time. If desired, donations in his name may be made to Hospice of Laramie or Ivinson Memorial Hospital.
He was a vital part of our lives, loved and was loved, and we shall miss him.
Kathy, Heidi and Kristen and your families, I am so sorry for the loss of your husband and father. I pray that you will find comfort in your memories as you adjust to your lives without him.
Sending thoughts and prayers to you and your family.
To the family.... I just heard this news, and wanted to share my sympathy, and to also affirm the incredible contribution that Chuck made to 4-H in so many states, including Minnesota. I first met him when I was part of the committee where he proposed 4-HPlus! and FairPlus! to Minnesota, back in about 1999 - and I enjoyed our many years of working together following that. I especially enjoyed the in-person programming sessions. It was in those work sessions that I learned TONS about programming, data management and logic from him, and still use so much of that foundational learning to this day in my role with MN 4-H. And part of the joy of working with Chuck was his many other loves, interests and skills. To this day, I still remember the 4-HPlus! and FairPlus! Factory Password, which was named after a car he enjoyed (and I think restored).
I first met Chuck when he was working out of the Reynolds Crossing location. He then moved out to the Skyline office and I remember many late nights of programming and configurations. Fun times. My prayers to Kathy (whom he spoke of fondly and often during our work) and the rest of the family.
Nash family. Please know our hearts reach out to you. Hand family
Chuck was an amazing person around electronics. He advised us well. I remember the Ferris Wheel he build for the girls. He loved his family. May he rest in peace. Warm regards to the family
