Charles Edward Hackert's Obituary
Macon – Charles Edward “Bud” Hackert, 80, of Macon, took his final ride to the Badlands on March 2nd, 2025. He is survived by his daughters, Tamara Lewis (Tom) and Teresa Lee (Tony), four grandchildren and four great-grandchildren, brother, Jeff Hackert (Nancy), and sister, Barbara "Cookie" Ater (Art).
Chuck was a proud Veteran who served in the Army from June 1962 to May 1965. Though honorably discharged, true to his outlaw ways, he did find himself reprimanded more than once for playing music too loud past lights out. He will be remembered for his colorful character, motorcycle trips, and his epic garage filled with memorabilia, where friends gathered daily for drinks and to share stories. If the door was open, you were welcome—but never forget the NO Dumping Rule!
A celebration of life will begin at 3pm on June 21st at 1014 E. 3000 North Road, Moweaqua, IL.
Graceland/Fairlawn Funeral Home is in charge of the arrangements. Condolences and memories may be shared at www.gracelandfairlawn.com.
