Chuckie devoted more than 40 years of his life to the fire service, pouring his passion into education and training. He played a major role in helping countless firefighters earn their associate degrees in fire science, and he spent much of his career focused on PIAL ratings and reporting software. His work took him to hundreds of full-time and volunteer departments across the country, leaving a lasting mark on each one. His impact is immeasurable. Chuckie is one of the unsung heroes of his profession. His hard work behind the scenes and consistent dedication to the overall mission of prevention and readiness saved lives in ways that we may never know because of a preparedness that kept bad things from happening in the first place. Chuckie began his career at the Zachary Fire Department, as a volunteer in 1979 and later as a full-time firefighter, through 1994. His journey then led him to serve as Fire Chief in West Monroe, and eventually to the St. George Fire Department, where he retired as Chief of Administration. Upon retirement from St. George, he continued his dedication to education by working as a Sr. Customer Experience Specialist at EPR Fireworks. Chuckie was a respected and influential leader within the Louisiana Fire Chiefs Association. He served as LFCA President in 2012 and as a longtime Secretary. He also represented the Association on the Board of Commissioners of the Property Insurance Association of Louisiana, (PIAL) Advisory Committee, and the Louisiana Department of Insurance Board of Review for fire ratings. His kindness, his steady presence, and his dedication to others defined every part of his life. His legacy lives on in the firefighters he taught, the departments he strengthened, and the family and friends who loved him dearly.
