Childs was born in Center, Texas on August 8, 1919 and passed away on June 21, 2012 in Lancaster, California. The pillars of Chuck&#8217;s life were his faith in God, his loving wife of 64 years, Carol, his family, veterinary medicine, community service, and his military service. Chuck served in the Army both in&nbsp;WWII&nbsp;and in Korea. He and Carol married in 1946, moving to Rialto, California in 1959, where they established the Rialto Animal Hospital. He was a life-long member of the Mt. View Church of Christ in San Bernardino and was a founding member of the Rialto Exchange Club. Chuck and Carol retired from practice in 1984 and moved to the Antelope Valley in June 2010. Chuck was a sweet, wonderful man who will be missed by all who knew him. He is survived by children Janna Gard (Michael); Jeff (Kay), and Randy (Carolyn); grandchildren Jason, Chad, David, Jillian, Charles, Daniel, Amy, Emily, and Katie; seven great-grandchildren; and sister-in-law Neva Cornelius.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A Memorial Service for Dr. Childs will be held at 11 a.m., Saturday, June 30, 2012, at the Mt.
