Charles "Chuck" Newman Stapp

Charles Newman “Chuck” Stapp, age 78, of Columbiana, AL, passed away on January 23, 2023. Services will be held on Saturday, January 28, 2023 at 11:00 a.m. at Heritage Chapel Funeral Home with Dr. Michael Miller officiating. Visitation will be held one hour prior to the service. Burial will follow at Tuscaloosa Memorial Park.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Charles and Laura Stapp; his wife, Diane M Stapp and his second wife, Jane Jones Stapp.

He is survived by his son, David W Stapp; daughter, Diana Michelle Talley (Kenny); brother, Dr. Steven A Stapp (Lynda); sisters, Lynn Roulaine and Lauralee Estes (Charles); grandchildren, Joshua Talley (Shelby) and Katelyn Talley; and a host of nieces, nephews, family, and friends.

Chuck was born February 6, 1944, in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. He graduated from Tuscaloosa High School in 1962. He married his loving wife Diane on January 18, 1964. They were marred for 46 wonderful years. After Diane passed away, he married Jane Jones on May 11, 2013. Chuck was a devoted husband, a wonderful father, and a huge Alabama fan. He didn’t miss an opportunity to yell “Roll Tide” whenever he had a chance.

In his early 30s, Chuck surrendered to full-time ministry and pastored churches in Georgia, Alabama, and Florida. After he retired, he became a member of the First Baptist Church of Columbiana where he taught Sunday School and was an active member of the Senior Adult Group. Chuck was a faithful, committed, and dedicated servant of God and this was seen by anyone that crossed his path. He made it his life’s work to share Jesus with anyone that would listen. He loved effortlessly and always had a smile and kind word for all he met. His sense of humor and caring heart will be missed by all.
