Chuck was born in Vermont to George Henry Stevens and Sylvia Hartson Stevens on February 2, 1956. He graduated in 1974 from Waynesboro High School. From there he went on to The Valley Vocational Technical Center where he would learn many trades and earn many certifications, several of those being in carpentry and industrial mechanics and maintenance. On May 2, 1985, he married the love of his life, Carolyn Arbaugh Stevens, they shared 40 wonderful years together. Chuck worked for many years in the

maintenance department as a “fixer” and later as a supervisor at the former Wayne-Tex where he became friends with many of his coworkers. He has always cherished those friendships. Being an avid carpenter and an allaround handyman, he could fix most anything. He used his talents for a short while running his own business called “The House Doctor”. A natural born lover of the outdoors, you could often find him in the woods hunting, running his beagles, or at home meticulously caring for his vegetable

gardens. Chuck gave his life to the Lord when he was 30 years old. He loved going to church and reading his Bible. Even when he wasn’t physically able to attend, he was watching the weekly service online.

He loved sports. He especially loved being a softball coach to his girls when they were growing up. He enjoyed watching all sports on TV and he loved going to games watching his grandchildren and great- grandchildren play.

The latter part of his years he spent as an over-the-road truck driver, several of those years team-driving with Carolyn, together taking in the beauty of all that God created. They eventually bought property in Goshen so he could live out his life-long dream of farming and living off the land. Chuck was at heart, a mountain man, and he loved living his life that way. He often said he was born 100 years too late.

The greatest joys of his life, his grandchildren and great grandchildren affectionately called him “Pop”, and they loved spending time on the farm with him.

He was so very loved by all of us and will be greatly missed.
