Chuck graduated from St. Joseph's High School in 1973. In 2012, he retired from the Denver Sheriff Department as a sergeant after 35 years of service.

Being active was a daily occurrence for him. Chuck always enjoyed riding his motorcycle and spending most of his time outside. The beach was a favorite location of Chuck's. He picked up beekeeping during retirement and enjoyed taking care of his hives. His terrier Walter-Mitty never left his side. He was known as a handyman and could fix anything. Spending time with family and friends was one of his favorite activities.

He is preceded in death by his stepson (Justin Houghton), and father-in-law (Paul Clark). He is survived by his wife of 26 years, Paula Clark-Martin, daughter Katelyn Lucero (son-in-law Jeromy Lucero), daughter Rebecca Martin, son Wesley Martin (daughter-in-law Kat Martin), daughter Lorrin Houghton, beloved dog Walter Mitty; grandchildren: Kayla, Ty, Trevin, Trystian, Trinitey, Kingston, granddog Luna Lucero, his parents, siblings, and many nieces and nephews.
