St., Omaha, Nebraska.

Chuck was born in Chicago, Illinois; but the family soon moved to Villisca, Iowa, and then finally to Omaha, Nebraska, where he spent most of his life. He graduated from Irvington High School and received a Bible degree from Omaha Bible Institute . He went on to serve on the Board of Directors at Faith Baptist Bible College for 30 years.

He met Phyllis at a church group outing, and they were soon married on June 15, 1951.

Chuck owned and operated Nilius Builders, Inc. He built and remodeled numerous homes for people all over the greater Omaha area, many times building the “next” home for repeat customers.

Chuck and Phyllis had four boys, Charles III , Larry, Tim, and Jeff.

Chuck made it a priority to travel with his family even as the “kids” got older and had their own families. Every other year they would all take a trip together, usually to Estes Park, Colorado, spending time enjoying the beauty of God’s creation.

Chuck was also an avid Husker football fan. He purchased season tickets with a family friend in 1962, and the family has the same tickets and seats to this day. Go, Big Red!!

Chuck will be missed by his wife Phyllis of 67 years, children Skip , Larry , Tim , and Jeff ; 11 grandchildren; and 22 great-grandchildren, plus one on the way.

Chuck loved his Lord and dedicated his life to serving Christ at home and in his business. Memorials can be sent to Omaha Christian Academy and Faith Baptist Bible College. Condolences may be expressed at www.roedermortuary.com.
