Charles M. “Chuck” Byrne III, born Dec. 10, 1950, died Oct. 16, 2016, following a long illness. He was a lifelong San Mateo County resident.
Achieving the rank of Eagle Scout while attending Burlingame High School, Chuck earned a bachelor of arts from the University of Southern California with a dual major in political science and international relations. Thereafter, he spent a long career in the intelligence field. He served on the San Mateo County Republican Central Committee, and a particular highlight was attending the first inauguration of President Ronald Reagan in January 1981. Chuck was a passionate sports fan, especially of USC and Stanford. He also avidly followed the San Francisco Giants and was part of the huge downtown crowd celebrating their World Series victory in 2012. Above all else, Chuck was known to family and friends as a patriot devoted to the protection of his country.
He is survived by loving sisters Frances and Kimberley.
