Donald Ray (Chuck) Biggerstaff, 1938-2009
His greatest desire was to serve his Savior. "Why seek you him here among the dead? He is not here."

Mr. Biggerstaff was my teacher at Spence Jr. High in 1984-1986 (Texas history in 7th grade, English in 8th grade). I have thought off and on over the last few years that I ought to thank him for being such a good teacher. He was willing to push his students -- he made us work hard and learn! He also drilled basic writing skills into our thick 13-year-old skulls -- and I owe him for that, as I now make a living with my writing. Thank you, Mr BIggerstaff, and condolences to family and friends.

I worked at Tom Field Elementary school with Chuck in the early 90's. My fondest memory of Chuck was going to his room during our "planning periods" and playing Hang the Dutchman for 45 minutes. We delighted in coming up with the most outlandish and bizarre phrases imaginable. He was the cleverest, wittiest, and most intelligent man I have ever known.

Chuck and I first met at O.M. Roberts Elementary in the late 80's. He was a man of wit, words and wisdom and I knew that we were going to get along not only as co-workers and fellow teachers, but as good friends. He challenged me as an educator and was always supportive, funny, loving, and kind. I think of you often, Chuck, always with a smile for the "word-meister"! You are now at peace, my friend. I love you and will never forget you!

While I hadn't spoken with Chuck in quite some time, I will remember him as a man who loved Jesus and loved others. While outspoken at times, I believe his passion was fueled by a heart that longed for others to know his Savior. Chuck, you will be missed.

I am a missonary and Chuck has been a dear friend of many years. Thru my 8 yrs on the field he has dropped me notes of encouragement, challenges and praise (w/his eloquent words!) and always pointed me toward Christ. Although I have known him to have medical problems, I did not know that he had been ill recently. In my sadness, I know that he is with our Lord and fully healed.

Chuck was always a joy to converse with. Talking to him was like reading a really good writer - interesting turn of phrases, huge vocabulary. He was clearly a result of a voracious reader of elevated books. We will sure miss him at all the Wednesday night dinners at El Chico, and the twice-annual Men's Bible Study parties. He's been a true friend to many of the men and will be missed.

Chuck was one of my best friends and closest brothers in Christ. I've known Chuck for 16 years. He was the most unique Christian I've ever known. Chuck had the unique ability to be able to scold you (when necessary), and also let you know that he loved you at the same time.
This past year, Chuck and I spoke via phone every Sunday evening. I could write thousands of pages about this incredible Christian. But I'd like to close with this thought: This world is noticeably colder with Chuck Biggerstaff gone. I know that he's finally home with our Savior, Jesus Christ. But I still miss him.
I miss you my friend, and look forward to seeing you when I come home.
In Christ,
Marty Bolt

We always enjoyed having Chuck to dinner or Fairfield. The times we spent just sharing our lives and thoughts were always special. Chuck was so honest and wise in dealing with my problems. His advice was usually scripturally based and without exception right on.

Chuck was a generous man. Many years ago during a particularly trying financial time for my family a check comes in the mail with the note that a similar check would arrive each month. I thanked him profusely but reminded him he did not have that kind of money and please not to send anymore. What generoisity! We will miss his presense and love for The Lord!
