Brad Charnas, 75, of Rocky River, Ohio, passed away peacefully on June 20, 2026,
surrounded by family after a long battle with Cancer.

Brad was born on November 25th, 1950, in Cleveland, Ohio, during the “Blizzard of the
Century,” to Nicholas and Diamond Charnas. After graduating from Charles F Brush High
School in 1968 and The Ohio State University in 1973, Brad began his appraisal career with
what is now The Pickering Group. In 1980, he started Charnas Appraisal, focused primarily on
relocation appraising, which sustained him and his family until he retired in 2021.

During his career, he was recognized frequently for appraisal accuracy and professionalism,
which led to service on several appraisal advisory panels. This led to service as President of
Relocation and Consultants and then President of Worldwide ERC, both professional
organizations aligned with Relocation Appraising.

While his professional career gave him a great deal of satisfaction, his greatest pleasure came
from nurturing and uplifting those around him, especially his children and his family. Brad’s
hobbies centered around making things with his hands, whether restoring a 1953 MG roadster
or making wooden desks for grandsons.

Brad was dearly loved by his family and friends, and his passing will leave a lasting void. He will
be remembered for his intellect, wit, humor, remarkable mechanical abilities, and love and
caring for others.

Brad is survived by his wife, Paulette Moylan, son, Ian Charnas, daughter, Alexandra Charnas,
granddaughter, Kailie Charnas, stepson Scott (Kristen) Moylan, their children Chase and
Everett, stepdaughter Danielle (Mike) Carvey, Danielle’s children Alex Burgess and David
Burgess, brother Douglas Charnas (Marianne Chaconas), sister Elaine (James) Maier, sister
Laurel (Todd) Schiller, and loving nieces, nephews, grandnieces, and grandnephews.
Brad was preceded in death by his parents, Nicholas and Diamond Charnas.

May his memory be eternal.

All services will be private
