Rosalio Navarro Chavez was born on September 4, 1934 in Asa, Texas to Ernesto and Amalia (Navarro) Chavez. Growing up he attended the schools in Asa and Downsville and at an early age began his vocation of farming. It was during this time his friends started calling him “Charlie” a nick name that stayed for a life time. Charlie was a loving son, devoted father, grandfather, great grandfather and a sincere friend to all he knew. In the tradition of his family, Charlie was always willing to help others. He devoted his life to the care of his family. He was a true example of fatherhood and all it takes.

From working the land, he also worked at Davis’ Works, retiring from there, and returning to his love of farming. He enjoyed being on a tractor and cutting the grass, his lawn was always in top shape and the envy of the neighborhood. Charlie enjoyed Baylor football and was a true fan, during the bad times and the good times.
