McCullough

Dr. Charles Curtis McCullough, of Calera, Alabama, passed away on November 10, 2026, at 11:35 a.m. He was born on October 25, 1934, in Brent, Alabama, to Thomas Alvin and Bertha McCullough.

Charles lived a life marked by service, devotion, and an unwavering love for the Lord. He proudly served his country in the United States Army for 23 years before retiring. His military service included a tour of duty in Vietnam and a year stationed in Iran. During his military career, he was awarded the Republic of Vietnam Campaign Medal, the Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry with Palm, and the Vietnam Service Medal with two Bronze Stars.

Following his military retirement, Charles continued his life of service through ministry and missions. He served for 21 years as an Assembly of God missionary to American military personnel stationed in Germany, ministering to those serving their country far from home. Afterwards, he and his wife served as volunteer chaplains for 14 years at Bullock County Correctional Facility and as Missions Directors at Kingwood Church. His dedication to ministry reflected his deep love for the Lord and his desire to share the Gospel with others.

Above all his accomplishments, Charles cherished his family. He and his beloved wife, Evelyn (Lou), shared 67 years and five months of marriage. Their life together was a testament to enduring love and commitment. He loved his family deeply and took great joy in the lives of his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. He also had a lifelong love of reading and studying, always eager to learn and grow in knowledge and faith.

Charles was preceded in death by his parents, Thomas Alvin and Bertha McCullough, and his son, Raymond Farrah McCullough.

He is survived by his loving wife, Evelyn (Lou); his brother, Tommy; his son, Gary, and daughter-in-law, Lorie; four grandchildren, Daniel (Cadie), Justin (Haley), Noah, and Ian; and six great-grandchildren, Maelynn, Maggie, Mason, Avery, Julius, and Caspian.

Charles leaves behind a legacy of faith, service, love, and devotion that will continue through the many lives he touched. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing him.

More than anything else, Charles would want everyone to know that Jesus Christ is his Lord and Savior. He believed in the promise of salvation through Jesus Christ and wanted others to know that this gift is offered to all who will repent and believe in Him. His life was devoted to serving the Lord and sharing that message with others. It is the hope of his family that those who remember Charles will also consider the Savior he loved and faithfully served throughout his life.
