Oberman, Charles age 61, passed away Friday, February 10, 2023, at the Israel Family Hospice House in Ames, Iowa. A memorial service will be held at the Grandon Funeral and Cremation Care, 414 Lincoln Way in Ames on Friday, February 17, 2023, at 1:00 p.m. Charlie was born to Charlene Clement Oberman and Robert Oberman in January, 1962, and raised in Humboldt, Iowa. He attended Humboldt High School and was active in school sports, including football and wrestling. After graduation, he attended Iowa State University for a year, and then joined the work force. For most of his working life, he was employed by GE Capital Fleet in Eden Prairie, MN. He was recognized early on for his innovation and creativity, and rose quickly through the ranks into management. After GE Capital Fleet was purchased by Element Fleet Management in 2015, Charlie helped the company through a difficult transition, and finally left his position in 2018. Charlie met his wife, Dawn Sattler, through work, and they were friends for several years before finally becoming a couple. They were joined in married in 2010, and made their home in Bloomington, Minnesota until moving to Ames in 2021. Charlie was a loving husband, and told his family that Dawn was his "everything." He enjoyed getting together with friends, neighbors, and family, and grilling everyone a good steak. One of his biggest joys was the companionship of his dogs. He and Dawn fostered several animals over the years, and remain loyal supporters of the ASPCA. Charlie was preceded in death by his parents, stepfather, Carl Lippolt; and niece, Courtney Parker. He is survived by his loving wife, Dawn; brother, Mike Oberman of Humboldt, IA; sister Pat Parker of Ames; nephew Devon (Amber) Oberman of Arnold's Park, IA; and nieces, Melinda (Zach) Hamann of Ankeny, IA and Melissa (Chad) Spencer of Lenexa, KS. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be directed to the family for a cause to be named later. Condolences: grandonfuneralandcremationcare.com
