Charlie Walker Schumaker

Charlie Walker ”Chuck” Schumaker III, 62 of Kenbridge, Virginia went to be with the Lord and joined his awaiting family in heaven on April 15, 2023. He was the son of the late Charlie W. Schumaker, Jr. (Betty) and Shirley Jones. He is survived by his wife and best friend of forty-two years, Karen Wingfield Schumaker and their beloved children. Matthew Schumaker (Megan), Steven Schumaker (Amanda), Hannah S. Parrish (Eli), and Faith Schumaker.  He was the best Papa to Marley, Walker, Waylon and Ada Schumaker. He was the proud owner of Chuck’s Auto & Truck Repair, where he loved serving and working for his community. Chuck was a true outdoorsman, a former Boy Scouts leader and an avid hunter. He was an active member of the Kenbridge Volunteer Fire Department, joining in April of 2001. Chuck and his family were proud of his numerous recognitions and awards for his service. His work ethic, sense of humor, and strong faith in God made him a pillar to his community. What Chuck was most known for was his deep love of family. A family man through and through, you could find him every evening rocking on the front porch with the love of his life. Chuck enjoyed nothing more than spending quality time with those he loved, grilling, and the “occasional” back deck dance party. Chuck was a longtime member of Kenbridge Christian Church, where a memorial service will be held this Sunday April, 23rd at 1:00PM  Clarke Funeral Home, Kenbridge, in charge of arrangements.
