Chuck graduated from Beech High School in 1989 and Freed-Hardeman University in 1996.  He cherished his college years and made many memories with his Tri Zeta and Sco Fo Farow groups.  Chuck was a sports fanatic always proudly cheering for the Tennessee Titans, Chicago Bears, and Atlanta Braves.  He loved traveling and spending time at the beach and mountains.  Chuck valued spending time with his family, friends, and his greatest joy, Cade. 

Chuck had fought bravely against spinocerebellar ataxia since 2006.  His faith, family, and optimism were his guidepost during the disease.  He could always be found with a big smile and positive outlook.
