Charles "Chuck" Steward

Charles (Chuck) Edward Steward December 13, 1962-November 11, 2024. And the Music Played Chuck lived and loved life to its' fullest--a life described at times as adventurous, reckless, fast and dangerous, especially during his younger years. Indeed, his daring, inquisitive, problem solving, hardworking persona provided friends and family with many adventurous travels across the U.S. and Canada. Without a doubt the force behind most of these adventuresome escapades was his love of music. The sounds of Neil Young, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Eagles, Grateful Dead, The Ramones, and Elvis Costello often blasted from his radio. It was on one late summer day in 1985 on Maple Street in Carrollton, that the sounds of the Eagles could be heard blasting from his car. As the music played on that day. an unexpected rainstorm provided an opportunity for a small-town girl from Georgia, named Cathy to meet a big city "fella" from New York named Chuck. And the music played. Fast forward 5 years this chance meeting turned into a life a little more settled with a wife of 34 years and 4 kids. However, the music continued to play. Known as the provider for his family, Chuck held various jobs/ careers. Chuck held jobs/ careers with Yokogawa, Douglas & Lomason, Lear Seating and Phoenix Stamping. Each of these positions held special meaning for Chuck as lifelong friendships were formed. Recently, he shared many fond memories of this part of his life with his family---a life filled with work struggles and blessings---a life that included way more laughter and fun! And the music played. A friend shared these words of wisdom, "Chuck lived the way he wanted to live and you can't be sad about that." Chuck's faith walk gave family and friends so many good memories --memories of love, laughter, fun, and a few headstrong arguments, opinions and MUSIC. Chuck loved the Braves and Georgia Football, and fun times gathered with friends and family. Chuck's family wishes for each of you to take time to cherish friends and family, hold each other a little tighter and Listen to the Music (Doobie Brothers) And the music continues to play.
