Chadwick “Chad” Edward Epley, 54, of Morganton, NC, went home to be with the Lord on Friday, May 5, 2023.

Born in Burke County, NC on May 20, 1968, he was the son of Bonnie Elizabeth Butler Epley and the late Paul Edward Epley.

Chad was a faithful member of Trinity Baptist Church where he served as choir director, assistant Sunday school director, Sunday school teacher, and a youth leader. Mr. Epley was a devoted husband and father who loved his church and his family. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, and coaching, but he loved having a good meal and spending time with his family.

In addition to his mother, those left to cherish his memory include his wife, Sherrie Norman Epley; children, Rebecca Epley Brown (Hampton), Jesse Epley, and Aaron Epley; brother, Kerry Epley (Emily); and a number of nieces, nephews, and extended family.

The family will receive friends from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m., Wednesday, May 10, 2023 at Trinity Baptist Church. The funeral will be held at 4:30 p.m. in the church with Preacher Tim Hodge officiating. Burial will follow in the church cemetery.

Memorial contributions may be made to Trinity Baptist Church, 3333 Trinity Church Road, Valdese, Nc 28690.
