“It is with deep sorrow that Jennifer and I acknowledge the passing of Charles “Chuck” Bloodworth on Sunday, July 22. Chuck was a dear friend, neighbor, beloved member of our community, and a distinguished public servant who dedicated his life to protecting and serving others in Georgia and the United States of America.

Chuck’s career began with the United States Army, followed by various roles in law enforcement before joining the United States Secret Service in 1999. His professionalism and integrity were evident in his work, which included overseeing electronic crime investigations and performing dignitary protection, including for several of America’s Presidents.

In 2022, the Georgia Senate honored Chuck with Senate Resolution 111, recognizing his exceptional life contributions and dedication to public service.

Chuck Bloodworth’s legacy is one of honor, dedication, patriotism, and unwavering commitment. He will be deeply missed. Jennifer and I, along with our three daughters, will be praying for his wife Karen, daughters Avery and Ashlan, and their loved ones during this difficult time.”
