\n\t Alvin Charles 'Chuck' Garfield, 74, of Wolf Point died Oct. 31, 2025, at Trinity Hospital.
\n\t He was born March 12, 1951, to Daniel Aloysious and Agnes Marie Garfield. He was born, raised and died in Wolf Point. He had lived in a few different places in his younger years, but Wolf Point was his home.
\n\t He was one of 12 children \u2014 somewhere in the middle. As a youngster, he liked to get into mischief but never got spanked. He was gifted with the ability to sweet talk his way out of trouble.
\n\t He married three times, the last was by far the longest \u2014 he was married to Janice (Martin) for the last 34 years.
\n\t He fathered five children, adopted a son and fostered one of his grandsons. He influenced many of his nieces and nephews.
\n\t He was loved by all that enjoyed his many hunting and fishing endeavors and lived vicariously reliving those moments by telling animated stories about them \u2014 he was a great story teller. He made friends from around the world because of his hunting abilities and willingness to share his vast knowledge of gaming. He also loved hosting a good fish fry because they gave him a reason to get everyone together. Then, as soon as the boys showed up, he became the foreman and handed off the tongs.
\n\t He lived a full life. His many loves were hunting, fishing, drinking, bullshitting, gardening, making breakfast, frying fish, driving the fields and having a good water fight.
\n\t He is survived by his wife, Janice; children, Tawnya Winchell, Dean Garfield, Tachia Armstrong, Beau Garfield and KC Garfield; numerous grandchildren; siblings Cleo Garfield, Larry Garfield, Cecelia Peters, Vance Garfield, Leon Garfield, Nancy Nordwick, Marshelle Lambert and Desiree Garfield.
\n\t He was preceded in death by his son, Chad Aaron Garfield; granddaughter, Chandlor Alexis Garfield; and siblings, Daniel \u201cCowboy\u201d Garfield, Joan Small and Douglas Garfield.
\n\t Prayer services will be Thursday, Nov. 6, at 6 p.m. at Clayton Stevenson Memorial Chapel in Wolf Point. Funeral will be Friday, Nov. 7, at 10 a.m. at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Wolf Point. Cremation will follow services.
