Charles Stephen Thomas (Chuck), of Schererville, Indiana, passed away on April 22, 2020. He was a wonderful, loving husband to Susan Thomas; father to Debra Thomas (Tom Stahl) and Charles Thomas, Jr. (Susan McKee), Keith Thomas (deceased), and Scott Thomas (deceased); and grandfather to Danielle Thomas and Michael Thomas.
He deeply loved and appreciated nature and believed the beauty of nature was a tremendous gift from God. As a faithful conservationist, whose efforts to care for the environment were unending, his passing away on Earth Day seemed fitting.
Although his passing brings unimaginable sadness and leaves a tremendous void, it is comforting to know he will be in the “room God prepared for him,” surrounded by unimaginable beauty: “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.” (John 14:1-3)
Due to current efforts to stop the spread of the COVID-19 virus, only a graveside service will be held, on Monday, April 27, 2020, at Riverside Cemetery in Cambridge City, Indiana. Stegall-Berheide-Orr Funeral Service is handling arrangements. Condolences may be sent to the family via the guest book at stegallberheideorr.com
Individual efforts to protect the environment and preserve nature and wildlife would add to the wonderful legacy of Chuck Thomas.
