Chuck was an active member at Grace Point Presbyterian Church and attended many mission trips to Costa Rica for construction projects. He later joined CARMA, helping build and develop churches in Costa Rica. For the past several years, he has worked for Habitat for Humanity in Columbia. Chuck always had a big heart for helping others in need. Using his many construction skills was valuable, but his love for God spread to everyone he met.
He is survived by his wife, Teri Applegate, of 34 years; his children, Rob (Amanda) Applegate, Sara (Ryder) Jones, Michele (Marvin) Purvis; siblings, Ed Applegate, Honey (Chester) Keisler, Pat (Todd) Ballington, Gary (Janet) Applegate; sisters-in-law, Nancy Applegate and Deborah Applegate, along with many other extended family.
He was predeceased by his parents, Helen Monroe and Clifford Applegate and siblings, Richard Applegate, Clifford Applegate and John Applegate.
Funeral services will be held at 3:00 pm on Monday, September 20, 2021 at Grace Point Presbyterian Church. The family will receive friends following the service at the church.
In lieu of flowers, the family is asking for donations to Grace Point Missions, CARMA and Central SC Habitat for Humanity.
