Chuck was born December 10, 1947, in Liberty, SC, the youngest of Ruby and Claude Powell’s six children. He graduated from Liberty High School, Class of 1967 and then graduated from Tri-County Technical College in 1969. Chuck enjoyed a 44-year career with Duke Power.
In 1969 Chuck married the love of his life, Katherine “Kathy” Louise Harmon. The early years of their marriage brought two children, Stephen and Chris, and several moves within the Carolinas. They eventually returned home to Liberty, where they lived the last 43 years. Chuck served as a deacon at Liberty First Baptist Church, a council member and mayor pro tempore of Liberty City Government, and an elder at Five Point Church. Chuck loved hosting holiday gatherings and family celebrations at their home. He was a loyal Gamecock fan and an even more devoted fan of his grandchildren’s various sports and activities. Chuck’s love for his family was surpassed only by his deep, abiding love for the Lord. He took every opportunity to share his faith with everyone he met. His most beloved role in life was that of Husband, Dad, and Papa. He was extraordinarily loved and will be deeply missed by his family and friends.
He is predeceased by parents Ruby and Claude Powell, brothers Doyle and Dewayne, and a sister Joyce Winslett.
He is survived by his wife of 53-years, Kathy, sons Stephen (Lisa) and Chris (Jennifer), nephew Joseph (Shelby) their daughter Gracelyn, sisters Willie-Grace Duncan and Brenda Youngblood (Ray), grandchildren, Bryce (Megan), Will, Kate, and Addison as well as many nieces, nephews and a host of other family members and lifelong friends that he loved dearly.
