Charles "Chuck" Roy Pilon

Charles “Chuck” Roy Pilon, 63, passed away on April 4, 2026, in Fargo, North Dakota.

Chuck was born on April 19, 1962, in Drayton, North Dakota, to Jerome and Mae (Rivard) Pilon. He was the eighth of eleven children who grew up surrounded by the energy and love of a large family.

He attended grade school in Drayton and later went to high school at Cardinal Muench Seminary in Fargo. After graduation, Chuck briefly attended North Dakota State University, though as he would jokingly admit, cards, beer, and Domino’s pizza proved more enticing than attending classes.

Chuck began his working life at the State School in Grafton before pursuing a degree in Respiratory Therapy from East Grand Forks Technical School. He went on to dedicate more than 30 years to caring for others as a respiratory therapist, first at Avera St. Luke’s in Aberdeen, South Dakota, and later at Vibra Hospital in Fargo, North Dakota.

In 1992, Chuck married Mary Beth (Berry). Together they were blessed with four daughters: McKenzie and Cydney, who died at birth and with whom he is now reunited, and Madison and Hannah, who were the light of his life and brought him immense pride and joy.

Chuck faced many health challenges throughout his life, yet he met each one with resilience and an unwavering positive attitude.

He is survived by his daughters, Madison and Hannah; his former wife, Mary Beth; his siblings, Rev. Daniel, Jim (Donna), Shirley (Whitey), Jean (Kevin), David (Shelly), Bob (Joni), Terry (Pat), Joan, Peggy, and Kathy (Peter); as well as many nieces and nephews. He is also survived by special friends, Michael (Marsha) Nygaard and Alan (Christl) Durand, and the entire Berry family.

He was preceded in death by his daughters, McKenzie and Cydney, and his parents, Jerome and Mae Pilon.

Chuck was a devoted sports fan who loved cheering on the Indianapolis Colts and the Baltimore Orioles. In his honor, the family invites those attending services to wear their favorite sports team attire.

Chuck will be remembered for his ability to remain positive through life’s challenges.

A visitation will be held from 4:30-5:30 PM, April 10, 2026, at Boulger Funeral Home. The rosary will begin at 5:30 PM, with the Memorial Service following directly after. A time for food, drinks, and fellowship will follow the service, beginning at 6:30 PM.
