He was born May 8, 1955 in Elyria, Ohio, son of the late Charles E. and Patricia Umstead Boggs.

He was a 1974 graduate of Calhoun County High School, and as a young man he worked as a flagman for the State Road.

Chuck did volunteer work for the Muscular Dystrophy Association while in Tucson, Arizona. He never stopped hoping that a cure would be found for the disease that took his life.

Survivors include his uncle and aunt, Bill and Donna Umstead of Mt. Zion, WV; his aunt, Mary Umstead of Mathias, WV; his uncle and aunt, Richard and Eugenia Umstead Husar of Mesa, Arizona; his uncle Clyde Boggs of Pineville, WV; and several cousins.

Chuck expressed the wish to be an organ donor, and was able to give a special gift to over 200 people.

A memorial service and burial will be announced at a later date.
