Chuck Linwell McHargue was born on September 23, 1940 to Burney and Pauline (Muncy) McHargue in Amarillo, TX. He grew up in Ady, TX, a small community near Amarillo made up of Texas Sand and Gravel Plant workers and their families. He attended first through eighth grades in the one-room schoolhouse at Ady alongside his sister Carolyn and cousins Kerry and Tim. From Ady, Chuck took his talents to Nixon Junior High and Amarillo High School. He was elected student body president his senior year. After high school, Chuck attended Texas Tech University in Lubbock, TX. He graduated from Tech with a degree in chemical engineering. In Lubbock, he met a second-grade teacher named Barbara Jean Greenlee with whom he quickly fell in love. Chuck and Barbara married on June 8, 1963 in Breckenridge, TX. Early in their marriage, Chuck and Barbara lived in Corpus Christi. From there, they moved to Port Neches, TX. While in Port Neches, they cared for their niece, Jeanette Greenlee and welcomed their first two daughters, Laura and Julie. From Port Neches, the family moved to Odessa, TX where they lived for 19 years. In Odessa, their youngest daughter, Becky, was born. Chuck worked for El Paso Products Company for 22 years, including a three-year expatriate assignment with the company in Algeria, North Africa. In 1990, Chuck continued his engineering career with a move to Houston where he worked for Parsons and finished his career at S&B Engineers and Constructors. After retirement in 2016, Chuck & Barbara moved to the Dallas area and then to the Tyler area. Chuck’s life has been abundantly blessed with his family, friends and work. These blessings came from his heavenly Father who he has faithfully served since he put on Christ in baptism around 1953. Chuck and Barbara have been members of the church of Christ in several locations: Corpus Christi, Port Neches, Odessa, Algeria, Pasadena and the congregation here in Lindale. Chuck served as a deacon and elder in many of the congregations and was a frequent teacher and preacher along the way. He was truly a worker in the Lord’s kingdom. Chuck is survived by his wife Barbara; children Laura McMillan and husband Trenton, Julie McHargue and Becky McHargue; grandchildren Olivia Hall and husband Isaac, Samantha Martin and husband Jared, and Gregory McMillan; great-grandson Elias Hall; and sister Carolyn Dunbar and husband Charles.
