Practicing medicine for over 20 years, he served the community as a well-respected, kind, caring physician treating thousands of patients and earning the respect of colleagues. Chuck was also an avid Auburn fan and sports memorabilia collector who enjoyed spending quality time with his family and friends.

Chuck was a loving, devoted husband to his wife, Heather. He was Heather’s confidant, her source of comfort, love, joy and companionship. They enjoyed traveling around the world together, parenting their children who he adored, and renovating their historical farmhouse. Chuck brought love and adventure into the lives of his family and leaves them with this legacy, many beautiful memories, and the blessed assurance that this separation is only temporary.
