Obituary: Charles ‘Charlie’ Leroy Atwood
Charles L. Atwood, 69, took his greatest flight on April 9,
2014, to meet our Lord in Glory. He was born in Kansas City, Kan., on July 21,
1944.
After completing his bachelor's degree, he served as a pilot
in the U.S. Air Force, from which he retired in 1991 as a lieutenant colonel. He
helped defend our country in every major conflict during his service. He began
his career with Delta Air Lines in 1971, and retired as a captain in
2002.
Charles had a true passion for understanding and growing in
God's truth. He was a member of the Winnsboro Church of Christ. BSF (Bible Study
Fellowship) gave him the opportunity to really dig deep into his study of the
Bible. He was in a leadership role in both Tyler and Longview after being "drug"
to his first BSF introductory class in 1992 by his loving wife, Browne. These
experiences helped fuel his bright flame for serving Christ and witnessing to
others, as we are called to do.
Charles moved his family from the "big city" of Houston, to an
over-privileged horse farm about seven miles north of Quitman, where he and his
wife, Browne, resided ever since.
He is survived by son, Hayes Atwood, his wife, Kelley, and
their children, Megan and Nate Atwood, of Maumelle, Ark.; and daughter, Ashlea
Wupperman, her husband, Dr. Patrick, and their children, Grant, Ella Browne and
Gavin Hayes Wupperman, of Tyler; along with his sisters, Sally Barnes, Aurora,
Colo., and Julie Harrington, Centerpoint, N.Y.
Visitation is 6 to 8 p.m. Sunday, April 13, 2014, at the Beaty
Funeral Home, Winnsboro. Services are 11 a.m. Monday, April 14, 2014, at the
Winnsboro Church of Christ. Interment is Thursday, April 17, 2014, at 1 p.m. in
White Chapel Cemetery in Kansas City, Mo.
