It is with great sadness that the family of Charles “Chip” DeBardeleben announce his sudden passing in Louisville, Kentucky.

He was raised in West Point, Georgia, which is in Troup County. Graduating from Troup High School in 1992, he later attended Auburn University and graduated in 2001.

After working in Atlanta, he move to Louisville in 2005 and worked with Statewide Mortgage until the present.

He is survived by his wife Chase Ann Roth, his son, Charles IV, and his daughter, Alivia Chase. Chip is also survived by his parents, Charles and Sherry DeBardeleben; his brother, Robert Franklin DeBardeleben and his wife Heather Giovanelli DeBardeleben; Chase Ann’s parents, Jimmy and Chase Roth; and brothers, Jimmy and his wife Lori, Todd and his wife Charlotte.

His love was bigger than a Cadillac. His love was real and won’t fade away.
