The harness of this life was removed from him sometime between 4 and 7 a.m., while he was resting between his treatment of patients. His untimely death has been a shock to all of his family and friends.
Charles Jay Frentheway (Chuck or Uncle Chuckie as he was called by many of his family) was born in June 23, 1947, in Rawlins. He was the son of Charles Jake Frentheway and Gladys Louise (Lauver) Frentheway.
He was raised in Cheyenne, where he was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, attended Henderson Grade School, Carey Junior High, and graduated from Cheyenne's East High in 1965. He attended Brigham Young University receiving his B.S. in zoology; he married
Kathleen Andersen Frentheway on Aug. 1, 1970; then attended the Universidad de Guadalajara in Guadalajara, Mexico, and received his M.D. from Creighton University in 1974.
Chuck and Kathy have, and he is survived by, three children, Mathew Jacob Frentheway, his wife, Melissa and their four sons Kreed, Dawson, Ryker and Beau, and Rachael Bree (Frentheway) Ice and her husband, Jonathon, and Zane Samuel Frentheway.

After graduating from Creighton, Chuck served in the U.S. Air Force at Malcolm Grove Hospital at Andrews Air base in Washington, D.C. He was named flight surgeon of the year for the Air Training Command in 1976 while stationed at Hill Air Force Base in Big Springs, Texas.
He was then transferred to F.E. Warren Air Force base in Cheyenne and served as a family practice physician at the Base Hospital there. After being discharged from the Air Force, Chuck began working for EMP Corporation where he worked the emergency rooms at DePaul Hospital in Cheyenne, Deadwood, S.D., Sheridan, Pasco, Wash., and Ivanson Memorial Hospital in Laramie.

In 1993, the Frentheways again moved to Gilbert, Ariz., and he worked at the Desert Samaritan Hospital Emergency Room and Cobre Valley Hospital in Globe, Ariz., where he was at the time of his death.
Chuck always sacrificed his time, resources and talents unselfishly whether convenient or inconvenient. He gave his service without expectations of any return or commitment from the receiver. His life was a true example of unpretentious Christian ideals which he lived and taught. His gentle touch and loving concern for all of his family, friends, patients and acquaintances was a true example of Christ like love. We should follow his example.
He was preceded in death by an infant daughter, Charlotte Anne Frentheway; and his father and mother, Charles Jake Frentheway and Gladys Louise (Lauver) Frentheway.
