Charles D. McCormack, age 83, passed away on December 13, 2019 in League City, Texas. He was born on January 10, 1936, in Lubbock, Texas to Clide and Beatrice McCormack. He married Loretta Bilbrey on June 8, 1963.

Charles began working at his father’s cotton gin at an early age and by the time he was sixteen years old, was in charge of the daily activities at the gin. In May 1958, he enlisted in the U.S. Army and served for three years with the 582nd Aircraft Maintenance Company, much of that time in France. Following his active duty, Charles served in the Inactive Reserve for another three years. Charles was a quiet man who loved the Lord and brought his family up in church. He was truly the hands and feet of Christ as he ministered to many in need. He visited the sick and homebound, cared for the widows, drove teens to concerts and conferences, and drove numerous mission teams to their destinations. Charles served on various committees including Van, Building and Grounds, and Money Counters at Jackson Avenue Baptist Church in Lovington, NM, and actively volunteered his time whenever it was needed. He was ordained as a Deacon on February 2, 2003. Charles is preceded in death by his parents, Clide and Beatrice McCormack.
