Chuckie was born in Alexandria, Virginia in 1961 and lived his entire life in the Hinesville area.  He was a proud member of Bradwell Institute’s graduating Class of 1979.  He was the punter and kicker for the Tiger football teams of the late ‘70s.  While still in high school, he worked with his father to run mosquito spray trucks throughoutLiberty County and soon established Burgess Pest Control, a company he would own and operate until his retirement.  

Chuckie was an avid bowler who also loved fishing. He began bowling in the youth leagues on Fort Stewart at a very young age and continued bowling in several adult leagues per week until his death.  He spent countless hours fishing the many ponds on Fort Stewart, the Canoochee River, and the St. John’s River in Astor, Florida.  

He is survived by his brother, Reggie (Lisa); a niece, Caroline Channell (Charles), a nephew, Austin; a great niece, McKinley Reid; a great-nephew, Mercer Reid; a great-niece, Charlotte Channell, and several cousins.
