Charles Edward "Chuck" Prewitt, 70, of River Ridge, Louisiana died peacefully on Thursday July 26, 2018 at home surrounded by family. The only child of Jim and Eileen Prewitt, Chuck was born in Danville, KY October 23, 1947, graduated from Taylorsville High School and later the University of Kentucky, where he received a BS degree in Mechanical Engineering.

Chuck introduced me to forensic engineering back in 2001 when I first met him on the NCEES professional engineer licensing exam committee. His input led to my career change to forensic engineering in 2003, and I enjoyed interacting with him at ASTM, NCEES, and NAFE conferences since then. We also discussed many cases on the phone, and shared some fine meals in NOLA. A true gentleman.

Chuck was a quiet, easy going soul doing his best to live out his faith! It was an honour to have known and served with him at Parkway for many years. My prayers go out to Pat and his family.

Chuck Prewitt lived out the faith. I had the honor of being his pastor for about seven years. His dedication to the church and the countless hours he put into were of immeasurable help to Parkway. But, more than that, you knew it wasn't just some organization to Chuck but that he was doing his diligence to do his best for God. I appreciate Chuck, will miss him, and look forward to seeing him one day in God's kingdom.
