Charles “Chuck” W. Falls, 76, of White Sulphur Springs, WV, passed away on Mar. 16, 2026, following a long illness.
Born June 26, 1949 in Ronceverte, he was the son of the late John R. Falls Sr. and Natoma “Toby” Jeffries Falls.
Chuck graduated from Greenbrier High School in 1968. That same year, he joined the United States Army, serving in the 135th AHC Experimental Military Unit (EMUs) as a helicopter crew chief in the Vietnam War. During his service, he received a Purple Heart along with several other medals and commendations before being honorably discharged.
On July 21, 1970, Chuck married the love of his life, Jean Morgan Falls, in Clifton Forge, VA. They shared 55 years of marriage together and built a life centered on family, faith, and devotion. Chuck was a loving husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather.
He worked for Westvaco at the woodyard in Crawley, WV as a heavy equipment operator, retiring in 2009 after 30 years of dedicated service.
Chuck attended Edgewood Presbyterian Church, where he enjoyed singing in the choir. He was also a proud member of the Elks and spent many happy hours on the golf course. He enjoyed telling stories, listening to music, and crafting with his hands. He loved old cars and appreciated a good joke or a jump scare for a good laugh.
