It is with profound sadness that Charlie St. Clair, former New Hampshire State Representative and a man who was so well known throughout our community, passed away on Saturday, August 22, 2026, at MetroHealth System, Cleveland, OH, following a motorcycle accident while making his way to Sturgis for what would have been his 50th consecutive ride to Sturgis bike week. As so many of us know, Charlie loved his motorcycle, the open road, and riding.
We will be bringing Charlie home to New Hampshire and into our care, where we will have the privilege of assisting his family with the arrangements and services to honor his life.
There is something especially meaningful about being entrusted to bringing home someone who gave so much to his community and lived life doing what he loved.
Our thoughts are with Charlie’s family, friends, fellow riders, and the countless people whose lives he touched throughout the years.
It is our honor and privilege at Wilkinson-Beane-Simoneau-Paquette Funeral Home to be entrusted with the care of bringing Charlie home on this final journey.
Funeral arrangements are currently being made and service details will be provided in the coming days.
