The family moved to Iowa in 1946, where they began their life of farming. Chuck graduated from the New Sharon High School in New Sharon, Iowa in 1954. He married his high school sweetheart, Murldene Clevenger on February 11, 1955. To this union, two children were born, Debra and David.
Chuck was a member of the Lucas United Methodist Church, Urich, Mo. He loved his church and church family. He always remarked that when he walked into this church he knew he was home. He joined the Belton, Mo., masonic lodge in 2006, later transferring his masonic membership to the Garden City, Mo. masonic lodge. He was proud to be a mason and loved his brothers. He was proud of his 43 years of employment with the Book Binders Union, #60, strongly supporting his union brotherhood. He enjoyed playing cards and board games with family and friends. He loved boating and camping. Most of his camping injuries came from demonstrating his “great water skiing skills”.
Surviving are his wife, Murldene Wyatt, of the home; one daughter, Debra E. Campbell (Steve), Versailles, Mo.; one son, David C. Wyatt (Peggy), Independence, Mo.; six grandchildren, Gary Campbell, James Campbell (Brooke), Melanie Russell (Alan), Megan Von Ruden (Andrew), and Janelle Chandler; ten great-grandchildren, Zachary and Brinley Campbell, Jackson Campbell, Frankie Williams, Wyatt Isgar, Elijah Ross, Chloe, Aiden, Keiran and Sophia Cox; and many other family members and numerous friends.
He was preceded in death by his parents; one sister, Barbara Standsbury; and one brother, Russell D. Wyatt.
Masonic services and celebration of life will be at 2:00 p.m. Saturday, January 20, 2024 at the Lucas United Methodist Church, Urich, Mo. The family will receive friends from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m., just prior to the services. Services are under the direction of the Bradley & Hadley Funeral Home, Clinton.
