Chuck Schoenberg Memorial Hike
LyttleBryan June 3rd, 2010
Close to 2 years ago I was introduced to a man by the name of Chuck Schoenberg. He was a friendly guy that enjoyed good beer and a warm campfire. The first weekend I met him was at Panther Creek State Park in TN. We sat around the camp fire and talked, and watched as the sun turned from rain, to sleet, back to rain, and then to sun. Over the coming year we got to know each other a little better, and eventually became friends. Over time disagreements were had, and space grew between Chuck and I. Despite everything that happened, I was still deeply saddened and shocked when word got back to me that Chuck had finally succumbed to his depression, and he had ended his life.
Those in the hiking group that had known Chuck gathered this last Memorial Day weekend to spend time at a place Chuck was happy, and a place I’ve talked about more than a few times on my blog, Virgin Falls. We retraced our hike and talked about all the fun times that were had, and generally spent the day remembering the good about him.
Rest in peace, Chuck…
