To the Family:
May you all feel Gods comfort .
I grew up with Chuck. Many good times and memories from childhood into Adulthood.
We played together, played little league football & baseball, rode bikes, motorcycles and our families went to the beach together.
I will always have fond memories of our times together.
Sorry to hear that Chuck has passed, didn’t see him that often but always enjoyed talking with him. Praying for his family. Michael Tuttle

I was a longtime friend of Chuck. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family
To Chuck’s family:
My heart goes out to you and the pain you are experiencing. Grief is so hard, but thankfully, we serve a God who has overcome death because He lives. We too will live and one day see Chuck again. He and I were friends in high school and then reconnected when my mom died. Chuck did her funeral and then went all the way down to Mullins to do her graveside service. I’ll always be indebted to him. Please know that I am praying for you.
Jackie, I can’t imagine your pain, but I’m praying for the relief only Jesus can bring. Please know your family is in the prayers of many. Reach out if I can do anything at all.
Love you sweet lady!
I am so sorry for your loss. Praying for Family and friends
Haden, Ruston, Jackie and Preston,
It’s hard to find words to describe the last two days.
I have known the family more than 70 years. Chuck had been around my house all the years he and the girls were growing up! Kirby and I both loved him as part of the family. He has left his mark on all who knew him. Even though we mourn, He and Kirby are at peace with the Lord.
Love to you all
Thelma
Jackie, Preston, and Cherry and family. You are in our prayers. Chuck was a fine young man and our hearts are with you all. I know its got to be so hard. May God wrap His Loving arms around you. Love Bill and Gail Orbann and Barbara Taylor.
Chuck was a personal friend of both Tammy and me. He was a man who not only was a great friend, but a man who could be counted on to help anyone in need.
Heaven gained a great new angel who I know is looking down on all his family and friends.
Rest Easy Brother,
Lee & Tammy
I was so sorry to hear about Chuck.
We too were lifelong friends. (Even though he always asked about Elizabeth). He was so awesome at mom’s funeral. He told of stories he had with her we had no idea about. I think of your family fondly and am so sorry for your grief. He was a wonderful person. We all loved him.
My heart is bleeding far I got too know Chuck through my son FRANKY. You couldn’t help but fall in love with Chuck. When I saw Chuck at work or out in wide open spaces we always had a big hug. FRANKY and Chuck will be having a ball waiting on the other one you. I love as I did Chuck
My heart is bleeding far I got to know Chuck through my son FRANKY. You couldn’t help but fall in love with Chuck. When I saw Chuck at work or out in wide open spaces we always had a big hug. FRANKY and Chuck will be having a ball waiting on the rest of you.
I was deeply saddened to hear of Chuck’s passing. Chuck showed such kindness to our son when he was younger, and that kindness left a lasting impression on our family. We thank God for the time Chuck was with us and the love he shared. May the Lord bring you comfort and surround you with His peace during this difficult time. Please know you are in our prayers.
Mr. & Mrs. Calvert and Cherry
Words cannot express how sorry I am for your loss. May you find strength and peace.
So sorry!
My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time! I am so very sorry for your earthly loss of Chuck. He was a kind man and always ready with a smile and handshake or hug! May God hold you close as you go through the coming days!
So sorry to hear of Chuck’s passing. My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire family. God bless each of you! Hal
Chuck was a friend to everyone. Met him through Cannon Funeral Home and WFIS radio. Then through his love of music and singing karaoke. He was a man of great humor and great conversation. Always made you feel you were the most important.
When my dad passed he watched with teary eyes me bury my dad in Toccoa a string man holding up a younger broken man. Years later would reconnect and saw him in the delivery field doing what he did best. Tell stories, make people feel they were the best in the world. Condolences to those left behind but it is what he left in each of us that keeps him here in spirit. Thank you Chuck.
Mr. and Mrs. Calvert, Cherry and family. I was so sorry to hear of Chuck’s passing. I know Michael (Mike) loved some Chuck Calvert. They had a wonderful reunion last Wednesday in Heaven. You all will be in my thoughts and especially my Prayers.
Ruston, Mackenzie, Haden and Carley and the rest of the Calvert family –
Sorry for your loss…saying goodbye is never easy and the hole created can never be filled – you are in my thoughts and prayers…rest assured Chuck will walk in your shadow until you meet again..
Prayers and God Speed –
To the Calvert Family
Our hearts go out to your family during this difficult time. Wishing you strength, peace, and comfort in the days ahead
I am so sorry for your loss! Chuck will be missed!
Jackie and Preston,
So sorry for the pain you are going through during this most difficult time.
I never knew Chuck but I know he had to be a wonderful person to have
been raised by such loving parents. May God comfort you as no one else can during the days ahead.
