Charles "Chuck" Douglas Vines, 58, of Pocatello, Idaho, passed away on Friday, October 31, 2014 at Portneuf Medical Center in Pocatello, Idaho with two of his children at his bedside after suffering a heart attack. He was born on October 6, 1956 in Denver, Colorado to Virgil "Doug" and Lou Vines. Chuck lived in Golden, Colorado as a very young child before moving to Baker, Louisiana with his parents and seven siblings. In 1961, they moved to Angleton, Texas where he spent the majority of his adolescence and young adult life. As a young boy he played on the Cardinals Little League Baseball team and was an Eagle Scout in Troop 13. While in high school, he played football, basketball, baseball and ran track. He graduated from Angleton High School in 1975. After graduating, he married his high school sweetheart, Pamela Carol Peterson. They were married for 14 years and had four beautiful children together: Jason, Melanie, Christopher, and Kimberly. He enjoyed coaching both of his son's little league baseball teams and was an umpire for youth baseball for many years and a referee for youth basketball. During high school, Chuck worked at Sears and then later at Climate Heating and Air Conditioning in Angleton as an installer and repairman. From there he went to work for Dow Chemical as an Operator. After completing his associate's degree in Criminal Justice at Brazosport College, he went on to work for Richwood, Oyster Creek, and Holiday Lakes police departments.

In the early 1990's, he moved to the Pacific Northwest where he resided in Utah, Wyoming, and Idaho and worked as a ranch hand for many years before returning to Angleton in 2000.
