Chuck has fond memories of being a kid and living in the town of Shepard, Montana where he went elementary school and his parents ran a small trailer court.  Then at a young age he lost his father and the family relocated to Rawlins, Wyoming where he completed middle school and high school.  After finishing high school he began working.  He married Carol and helped raise three amazing individuals Connie, Keri and Russ.  Over the years he has had a variety of jobs.  The job he loved the most was being a diesel mechanic on semi trucks.  Carol and Chuck were divorced.  In 2012 he moved to Mesquite and began volunteering at Bowler Elementary where he found he could make a difference in the lives of children every day.  He loved working with them, encouraging them and being their personal cheerleader.  After he married Angela, they bought a house in Bunkerville and made their home.  He loved being outdoors and in the mountains.  He learned to love traveling and taking cruises.  He was always willing to try something new.  He recently learned to crochet and took great joy in helping and serving others.
