Chuck was born November 20, 1959, in Floyd County, son of the late Charles Mitchell Evans. and Merle Mills Evans. He graduated from West Rome High School in 1978 and went on to graduate from the University of Georgia with a degree in accounting, later becoming a Certified Public Accountant. His career in finance began in Peachtree City and he most recently worked as the Director of Finance and Administration at Trinity by the River in Rome, GA.
Chuck will be remembered for his devotion to his family, and his commitment to his church and community. At Trinity by the River, he was a member of the Foundation Class, served on several committees, and provided leadership during a season of transition. Additionally, he served on the boards of the Salvation Army and the Downtown Development Authority.
He had a special place in his heart for the children in the church’s PALS program; many affectionately knew him as the “unofficial assistant principal.”
He was a constant and loving presence in the lives of his nieces, attending their games, celebrating their milestones, and supporting them in countless ways. He carried that same joy into his role as a great uncle.
Chuck enjoyed cheering on the Georgia Bulldogs, playing golf and tennis, and spending time with his Thursday Night Men’s Group.
