Gospel preacher listed in Preachers of Today , V. 4, 1970, p. 246. Charles D. Partain departed suddenly from this life on Tuesday, June 28, 1983 at 1:00 a.m. at his home in Quartz Hill, Calif., at the age of 56 years. He was born in Chandler, Ariz., to Fannie and Oliver Partain on July 8, 1926. He was a gospel preacher for 29 years having preached in California, Oregon and Colorado. At the time of his passing, he was working with the brethren at the Lancaster, Calif., church of Christ until a full-time preacher could be secured. His love was personal evangelism and many lost souls were brought to Christ by the kind and loving manner in which he presented the gospel. Although his health was poor, having undergone unsuccessful heart by-pass surgery several years ago, we were all shocked and saddened at his sudden passing. It is comforting to know that his faith remained strong and that he always put the Lord first in his life. It is also interesting to know that his last sermon was entitled "Some Judgment Day Surprises." This sermon was preached just two days before his death. He is survived by his wife of 34 years, Joyce, and four daughters, Sheila Sherman of Quartz Hill, Calif., Charlina Wright of Sunnymead, Calif.; Mary Holland of Quartz Hill Calif., and Rebecca Humerick of Chula Vista, Calif. He is also survived by seven grandchildren. Services were conducted at the Quartz Hill church of Christ where his son-in- law, Ron Sherman is minister, and burial followed at Joshua Memorial Park in Lancaster, Calif. Several preachers officiated and assisted at the service and were long time friends. C.B. Middleton of San Diego, Calif.; Steve Kay of Chowchilla, Calif.; Jerry Kendall of Hawthorne, Calif.; Elbert Garretson of Palmdale, Calif.; Hobart Gardner of Indio, Calif., and Steven Guy of Lancaster, Calif. Congregational singing was led by Herman Holland of Tulare, Calif.-The Charles Partain Family, P.O. Box 3237, Quartz Hill, Calif. 93534. [ Gospel Advocate, , Nov. 17, 1983, p. 697]. His military service dates were 10 May 1944 - 10 Jun 1946. He was the son of Oliver and Fannie Rucker Partain.
