Chuck Dowling died on the AT yesterday according to a Facebook post by his wife. Chuck starting a hiking Facebook group a couple of months ago that I belonged to.
Chuck's wife didn't know the details of his death at the time of the post. She was heading to GA to make arrangements
The FB page was Hike a day with Trey.

Sorry to hear it. Apparently they were teen sweethearts.
There seems to be some confusion on other FBs about whether "Hike a Day with Trey" Chuck is the same Chuck who runs Woodchuck's Hostel. Is anyone able to confirm/deny? Regardless, condolences to the family and friends of Chuck.
Last names don't match up...Quote:

Yea they are different chucks. But that facebook group is a good one and I have to feel for his wife he left behind. But he went out after a 3 day section hike not many better ways to go.
Any details? I'm not on FBQuote:

Thanks all for your feedback on the identity. It seemed like mistaken identity (different last names, etc) but I wasn't sure.
Details about what happened seem to be minimal. All from FB (posts from his a woman who identified as his wife). Chuck was on the AT for three days. He collapsed by his car on 7/16/2017. His wife wrote on FB that "(h)e passed away doing something he always loved but had just gotten back into recently."
So Sorry to hear this...prayers going out to his family. It is shocking to hear this!
