Charlie Roger Claudio Peralta

Charlie Roger Claudio Peralta, beloved son, brother and friend to all he met, passed on to be with the Lord Feb. 7, 2005.

Charlie was born on November 11, 1987 to Claudio and Lynette Peralta in Ellensburg. He grew up in the Othello area attending the local elementary and high schools. Known by his infectious and radiant smile, Charlie will be missed by so many, whose lives he touched. His love for snowboarding and singing in the Othello High School Jazz Choir were his trademark attributes, followed closely by track and cross country. Charlie was also very active in Young Life, as well as the youth group of the Othello Nazarene Church. His zest for life was matched only by his wacky sense of humor. Those who were fortunate enough to have been a part of his unceasing celebration of life will forever be influenced to be a better person and a more loyal friend.

Surviving are his father Claudio Peralta; mother Lynette Voth and spouse Steve Voth; grandparents Carlos and Elizabeth Peralta, Othello, and Ruth Todd, New Concord, Ohio; brothers Scott (Loraine) Robinson, Cheney, and Jess Robinson, Pullman; sisters Dayana Peralta and Claudia Peralta of Chile; nieces Alexia and Kira Lynn Robinson, Cheney; aunts Jean Gonzalez and spouse Vincent, Janice Walsh and spouse Mike, Nancy Peralta and Kary Peralta, Luz Maria Angelica Peralta and Monica Beatriz Peralta; uncles Jim Todd (Edna), Dave Todd (Joetta), Mark Todd (Karma) and Carlos Peralta; and cousins Michelle, Jimmy, Lindsey, Melanie, Janelle, Logan, Katie Elizabeth, Nancy, Carla, Guillermo, Dafni, Nathalie, Daniela, Valentia, Brian, Jonathan and Mark.
