Charles “Chuck” Weck, 66, of Marengo, died on July 30, 2022.
Chuck was born in Chicago on July 14, 1956, to parents Marion and Grace (nee Massarelli) Weck.
Chuck was a loving husband, dad, grampy, brother, and prolific rescuer of dogs. He was a dedicated and self-made leader and mentor in the automotive industry; a “car guy” in the truest sense. He was a championship winning racer and speed record holder at Great Lakes Dragaway. He was a friend to so many. He was kind, charitable, and willing to extend himself to anyone in their time of need. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
Chuck is survived by his beloved wife of 39 years, Carol (nee Kosek) Weck, his children, Chris (Abby) Weck, Kyle Weck, and Carly Weck, his grandchildren, Charlie and Maggie, and his six dogs.
A tribute to Chuck will be held on August 13, 2022, at 4 p.m. at The Great Lakes Dragaway, 18411 1st St, Union Grove, WI 53182 as part of the Nitrous Street Car Brawl. There is $25 admission fee to attend the event.

I’m so sorry for the tragic loss of Chuck. He was a good man and will be greatly missed. He always treated me like family and I appreciated it. He will never be forgotten.
Sending lots of prayers for healing to the Weck family during this unexpected time. Chuck Weck was doing something he loved and will be missed by so many.
My deepest sympathy for the passing of Chuck. It was a pleasure to get the opportunity to work for such a well respected and kind man, One of my fondest memories with Chuck is when I accidentally called him Chris and he joked that I was trying to "butter him up" by calling him young. He was definitely young at heart. I also loved how much he loved dogs. He will be remembered by so many in the highest regard.
To the Weak family so sorry for your loss. Chuck will be missed by all
