Charles Gay

June 4, 1949 - October 11, 2015

Charles Owen Gay, 66, finished his race on October 11, 2015 in Portland, OR. Charlie was born on June 4, 1949 in Nashville, TN, and was adopted by Thomas and Polly Gay of Encino, CA. He completed a B.A. in Business Administration from the University of Puget Sound, where he met and married Julie Schrader. They moved to Pasadena, CA, where he graduated from Fuller Seminary with a Masters of Divinity. He served as an associate pastor at Beaverton Foursquare Church and senior pastor of St. Helens Foursquare Church. In 1990 Charlie founded Network Ministries, and for the next 25 years he discipled and taught men across the Portland-metropolitan area. He was an active member of Portland Business Luncheons and served on the board of Union Gospel Mission. His greatest joy was helping people get closer to the Lord he loved. He is survived by his wife, Julie, and children, Carissa, Michael (Dana), Patrick, and Daniel, and grandsons, Owen and Henry. A memorial service will be held on October 29, 2015, at 11 AM at Beaverton Foursquare Church.
