Charles Lee Sealy, 65, died in Sarasota, Florida, on October 5, 2025.
He was born in Fayetteville, North Carolina, on June 4, 1960. He attended Minneapolis Roosevelt High School and at the same time was part of the Children's Theater Company in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
He was a successful businessman in the Twin Cities before moving to Florida, where he, among other things, was a boat captain and delivered boats all over the world. He was also a successful entrepreneur, owning and running a boat dealership in the Keys. Charles was a great salesman and an honest dealer whose customers became lifelong friends.
Charles was a true "renaissance man": he was an actor, a musician, a great cook, a woodworker, and a designer. And he was a "true blue" Vikings fan.
Charles is survived by his wife, Isabel; his mother, Zoe; his daughters, Angela and Amber; his brother, Michael; sister-in-law, Marisa; six grandchildren; two nephews; and many dear friends.
