Mr. Charles Randall Heath 89, known as Chuck to his many friends, passed away September 23, 2022, at Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist Hospital.

He was born on October 14, 1932, in Brighton, Colorado to Etharage Ruben Heath and Viola Jane Heath and has been a resident of Winston-Salem, NC since 1973.

Chuck graduated from Colorado School of Mines with a degree in Metallurgical Engineering. He retired from Amp, Inc where he spent most of his professional career.

Chuck served on the associate staff of Campus Crusade for Christ (CRU) for several years. He also served in his Church as a Sunday School teacher, Deacon, and choir member for many years. He cherished his mission trips to Kenya, Africa where he trained local pastors and went village-to-village teaching the Bible.
