Charles Edward Barber

Charles Edward Barber, born in Bastrop, Louisiana, on December 10, 1944, went on to be with the Lord on November 6, 2022, surrounded by his loving family in Ennis, Texas. Charles, who was better known as “Chuck” was raised in Borger, Tx and as a child regularly visited with his grandparents in Kansas. Helping his grandfather on the farm is how he learned and grew to love farming. He graduated from Borger High School in 1964 and went on to obtain his Associates Degree from Navarro College. Chuck was a Veteran and proudly served his country by joining the Air Force when he was 20 years old serving from 1965-1969.

He loved spending time with his family and was a deeply spiritual man who enjoyed attending church and memorizing scripture. He Pastored many Pentecostal Churches through his years but most recently Pastored Church on the Rock in Rice, Texas. His willingness to always help others was what he was best known for and his loving, kind, and selfless spirit will be incredibly missed.
