Charles “Chuck” Robert Barth, III was born on April 17, 1941 in Newark, New Jersey, the son of Charles Robert Barth II and Anna Mary (Carhart) Barth. He passed away at his home in Ninnekah, Oklahoma on Sunday, May 10, 2015.
Chuck grew up in New Jersey and graduated from Mannasquan High School in 1959.

In the early 1980’s, Chuck moved to Aspen, Colorado to help start and manage a floral business. In 1983 he met Gerry Badgett and a few months later moved to Oklahoma. They were life partners for over 32 years.

He enjoyed life to the fullest; he was especially fond of the time spent with his dinner club and the time spent at his and Gerry’s lake house on Lake Texhoma where he would spend hours driving the boat all over the lake.
He was preceded in death by both his parents.

So very sad to hear of your loss. Please know that our love and prayers are with you.
Jackson Family said:
The pain of losing someone you love is something that we will never get use to because God’s Word refers to death as ‘the last enemy.’ May your family find comfort as I have in knowing that our loving heavenly Father promises us that very soon he will have our enemy ‘brought to nothing.’ (1Corinthians 15:26) What a wonderful day that will be!

Gerry, I just learned of Chuck’s passing last night (Sunday, May 24th). My heart goes out to you. On top of all this, I can’t help but hope that all the flooding hasn’t impacted you too drastically. You will always hold a special place in my heart.
