Pastor Charles "Chuck" Vargulish's Obituary
Charles Andrew Vargulish, 81, of Latrobe, Pennsylvania, went home to be with the Lord on October 22, 2025. He was born on April 24, 1944, to Mike Vargulish and Anna Malinish in Latrobe, Pennsylvania.
Charles dedicated his life to faith and service, spending over 60 years as a devoted pastor at New Testament Fellowship. His ministry touched countless lives, and his kindness, wisdom, and steadfast belief in God will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
He is survived by his loving wife of eight years, Dora Vargulish; his son, Wesley Vargulish; daughter, Christine Williams; and stepson, Adam Ocasio. He was a proud grandfather to Natalie Olson, Candi Williams, Colleen Young, Tori Manning, and April Diaz Cruz, as well as numerous great-grandchildren who brought him great joy.
Charles had a passion for working with his hands — from restoring his beloved ’69 Mustang to carpentry projects and home improvements. He also had a well-known sweet tooth and a knack for brightening a room with his good humor and caring spirit.
He was preceded in death by his mother, Anna Malinish, and his two daughters, Tiffany Vargulish and Crystal Haynes.
