Charles Eric Freeberg (1964 – 2024) Charles Eric Freeberg (aka Skip and/or Ricky), 60, of Manassas, Virginia died in his sleep on Sunday, September 29, 2024. Skip, the youngest of four children, was born in Dover, Delaware in 1964 to Robert C. and Denise A. Freeberg. In his youth, the family moved to Woodbridge, Virginia, where he grew up and graduated from Woodbridge Senior High School. He went on to attend and graduate from Longwood University (then College) before beginning a long career in the banking/finance world dealing primarily with dealer finance and automobile lending. Throughout his life, Skip remained an avid sports fan, particularly of baseball and football (Dallas Cowboys & Penn State). He was a dedicated father, sibling, nephew, cousin, fraternity brother, friend, and supporter of the men and women who proudly serve our country. Many of his final days were spent attending baseball practice, tournaments, and related social events for his youngest son’s baseball team. He truly loved watching Andrew play one of the greatest American past times and was proud of the work that Andrew put in both on and off the field. Skip was preceded in death by his parents, Robert and Denise Freeberg, and his brother George Freeberg. He is survived by his 2 adult children Sam and Rachel Freeberg (Kathy Freeberg), his youngest son Andrew Freeberg (LaRee Pallone), his granddaughter Melanie (Sam), his sisters Catherine Odum and Chris McBride, and several nieces and nephews.

In lieu of flowers, please consider supporting his youngest son Andrew, donating to the American Heart Association, or donating to groups that support our troops serving at home and overseas.
