He was a young man remembered by all he met, a son and brother who loved his family with his whole heart and a gentleman by natural instinct. He was most at home wetting a hook or stalking a buck on his grandfather's farm and his friends were his Earthly treasures. Chuck loved the land as much as he loved people and was at peace in the early morning light. Pallbearers will be Paul Allen, William Hester, Jay Donnell, Spears Rhodes, John A.
