Note To Our Customers

It is with much difficulty that we need to confirm with you that Chuck Schiefen has passed away.

He was involved in a car accident on the Charlotte NC, Inter-State 485 on Wednesday March 16^th.

Chuck had a strong passion for his family and his career, spending all his working career in the machine tool industry in one facet or another, then starting Adept Machine Tools in 2009.

Your relationships with Chuck have helped make him a better person. You assisted him in achieving his dream of owning and building a successful business. We know that Chuck would like to thank you for your support and business over the past 13 years.  He enjoyed spending time with each of you, and hopefully you retain a special memory of Chuck.

A personal note from Kelly:

I want to begin by saying thank you for the prayers, love, & support many of you have shown this past week. There are simply no words to say how much they mean.  I thank God for the comfort He has provided. From the reassurance that Chuck is with Him, to the comfort we feel from how tightly He is holding us during this time. We are taking it one day, one breath at a time.  Chuck is the love of my life, my soulmate.  Please continue to pray for myself, our daughter Grace, his daughter Brittany, and granddaughter Lily, and all of those who are struggling without his presence.

We do wish to have a celebration of Chuck’s Life in the near future. We will keep you posted once these details are finalized.

Again, thank you for welcoming Chuck and Adept Machine Tools into your businesses over the years.

Sincerely,
Kelly Schiefen
