In Loving Memory of Charles "Chuck" E. Meador

Charles "Chuck" E. Meador, 87, of Sherwood, Arkansas, passed away on June 17, 2025. A graveside service with full military honors will be held at 10:00 AM on Wednesday, June 25, 2025, at the Arkansas State Veterans Cemetery located at 1501 W. Maryland, Sherwood.

Chuck was born in Memphis, Tennessee, to Charles and Margaret Meador. After completing high school, he proudly served in the United States Marine Corps followed by the Air Force, dedicating 20 honorable years to his country. During his military service, Chuck earned his bachelor’s degree, exemplifying his commitment to both his nation and personal growth.

Upon retiring from the Air Force, Chuck established a lighting supply company that served customers in Arkansas and neighboring states for three decades. He was passionate about giving back to the community, partnering with Sylvan Hills High School to provide dozens of students with their first real job opportunities in his warehouse.

An avid photographer, Chuck found joy in capturing the beauty of nature, particularly birds and various scenic landscapes. He and his beloved wife, Lillian, shared many wonderful moments at outdoor concerts, festivals, and while traveling together.

Chuck is survived by his sons, Mark and Greg, and his cherished grandchildren Sara, Monica and Bailey. His devoted wife, Lillian, will miss him dearly.

Four years ago, Chuck became a resident of the Sherwood Nursing & Rehabilitation Center. On behalf of the Meador Family, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to the dedicated staff for their unwavering kindness, compassionate care, and genuine friendship. Your support has made a significant difference in our lives, and we deeply appreciate everything you do.
