Chuck Woolery<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0has passed away at the age of 83, confirmed by his longtime friend Mark Young<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Born on March 16, 1941, in Ashland, Kentucky, Woolery was best known for hosting iconic television game shows such as Wheel of Fortune<\/em>, Love Connection<\/em>, and Lingo<\/em>. Later in his life, he became the host of a popular right-wing podcast where he shared conservative views and criticized liberal values and the Democratic Party. Woolery co-hosted the podcast Blunt Force Truth<\/em> alongside Young.<\/p>\n While details about his personal life are limited, you can find out more about his children and marriages below.<\/p>\n Woolery and his first wife, Margaret Hayes<\/strong><\/a>, had two children\u2014Katherine<\/strong> and Chad<\/strong>\u2014during their marriage from 1961 to 1971. Hayes passed away at 63 in 1977.<\/p>\n Tragically, both of his children had preceded him in death. Chad died in a motorcycle accident at the age of 19 in 1986, as reported by The Orlando Sentinel<\/em>. In 1997, Chuck reflected on his son\u2019s passing, telling PEOPLE<\/em>: \u201cHe liked to sing and play the guitar. He wanted to be an actor. He loved girls and all sports. He loved me, and I loved him. When Chad died, I was crushed. Something died with me that could never be replaced.\u201d<\/p>\n Young, when confirming the death of his friend, mentioned that his daughter Katherine, also known as \u201cKitty,\u201d had also passed away. Although the cause of her death remains unclear, a post on FindAGrave<\/a> from her presumed fianc\u00e9 reads: \u201cPrayed the day before I met her; the next morning we met! All kinds of paranormal, supernatural events followed after she went Above! God Bless Kitty and her brother, Chad! Amen!\u201d Katherine was believed to be around 41 years old when she passed.<\/p>\n Some outlets have referenced a third child, Cary Woolery, from his marriage to Hayes, but this is likely a mistake in the reporting.<\/em><\/p>\n After his first divorce, Woolery married actress Jo Ann Pflug<\/strong><\/a>, and the couple were together from 1972 to 1980, according to PEOPLE<\/em>. During their marriage, they had a daughter, Melissa<\/strong>.<\/p>\n After his marriage to Pflug, Woolery married Teri Nelson<\/strong><\/a> in 1985, and the couple remained together until 2004, according to PEOPLE<\/em>.<\/p>\n After having his third child, Woolery revealed that he had previously undergone a vasectomy but had it reversed when Nelson expressed a desire for more children. While he was open to having more kids, he admitted his fear of having another son, saying to the outlet, \u201cI would be so scared something\u2019s going to happen to him.\u201d<\/p>\n They had two sons together\u2014Michael<\/strong> and Sean<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Michael has shared posts on Facebook<\/a>, including one about his father\u2019s first Emmy award. Sean is based in Utah, according to his Facebook<\/a> profile.<\/p>\n Woolery married Kristen Barnes<\/strong><\/a> in 2006, though the couple did not have any children together.<\/p>\n Reports indicate that Barnes was with her husband at the time of his passing. According to TMZ<\/em><\/a>, Woolery was with his wife at their Texas home when he died in November. Barnes had noticed that he wasn\u2019t feeling well, and after he went to lie down, she checked on him later. At that point, he was having trouble breathing and passed away shortly thereafter.<\/p>\n \n\t\t<\/div>\nKatherine and Chad<\/h2>\n
