, Ohio, went to be with the Lord on June 22, 2025, at SOMC Hospice.
Chuck was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather, and his love for his family was evident to all who knew him. He is survived by his loving wife of 58 years, Betty Jean Smith (Downey); daughter Kimberly Clark (Michael); son Bryan Smith (Debbie); grandchildren Taylor Haywood (Zane), Justin Ottney (Allison), and Andrew Smith; and two great-grandchildren, Bre and Grayson; sisters, Carole (Ron) Smith and Judy Smith.
Chuck’s first and greatest love was the Lord. He was a devoted member of Plymouth Heights Church of the Nazarene and lived a life of unwavering faith. He spent his life ministering—whether at church, in the workplace, or within prison ministries—always driven by compassion and service.
He was proud of his career, working for many years in produce at Festival Foods and Deemer’s Market. He also served honorably as a mechanic in the United States Air Force.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the SOMC Cancer Compassion Fund or SOMC Hospice.
A Celebration of Life service will be held at Plymouth Heights Church of the Nazarene in Franklin Furnace, Saturday, June 28, 2025, at 5:00 p.m.
Cremation arrangements were handled by D.W. Swick Funeral Home/ Wolfe- Nelson Chapel in Sciotoville.
