Chuckie’s funeral is Monday.

I still can’t believe he’s gone when I really think about it. I still have a keychain from last year when me, him, his wife and my then-girl were at Kings’ Dominion.

Chuckie and I weren’t that close, but cool enough that I could trust him and felt comfortable around him to share some of the deep ‘man stuff’ that we all deal with. My ex is actually closer to him and his wife. You know how you just have that one brother or sister at your church that’s really a genuinely REAL person, and you feel you don’t have to put on airs around them and can just be yourself ?

That’s the kind of person Chuck was.

Keep his wife and kids in prayer. Please.

There are some things about all of this that are going to sit with me for a while…….
