Charles (Chuck) T. Rowan, age 77, of Battlefield, MO passed away suddenly in his home on Saturday, November 28, 2015.

Chuck was born in Shawnee, OK on September 18, 1938 to Joseph Augustus and Lulu Blanche Rowan. He is survived by his wife and constant companion of 39 years, Phyllis, and many, many friends and acquaintances.
He accepted the Lord as his Savior at an early age, then became an avid follower of Christ in April 1981. Bible reading and memorization were a vital part of Chuck’s daily walk with the Lord. He read through the Bible multiple times each year. He was also known as an intercessory prayer warrior, to whom many of his friends confided their prayer needs. His dependence on daily guidance by the Holy Spirit was evident to all who knew him. Chuck’s walk with the Lord was the most important thing in his life.
