Charles (Sparky) Sparks, Adair Co., KY (1961-2011) He loved his work. He loved what he did and quietly and competently performed vital roles with an extraordinary passion and absolute dedication. He commanded profound respect during his too brief lifetime - respect now realized even more in homage paid not only from members of his home town, but among colleagues across the state. It was respect shown so many times today along the path of his epic homecoming cortege from Louisville as it wended its way south through communities which lined the route with the highest symbolism of honor. It was manifest as Adair Countians met with unspoken understanding of a shared, deeply felt loss. Charles Sparks was a descendant of great pioneer Adair County families, born into a tradition of public service. He carried on that tradition with great honor. He was a Deputy Kentucky State Fire Marshal for the past 23 years, a fire and rescue instructor for the Kentucky Community Technical College System, Assistant Fire Chief of the City of Columbia Fire Department, a member of the Columbia - Adair County Volunteer Fire Department for 32 years, and an Emergency Medical Technician for the Adair County Ambulance Service. Charles Sparks was a member of the Columbia Christian Church where visitation and memorial services will be held Sunday and Monday, July 10 and 11.

Visitation will be after 2:30pmCT, Sunday, July 11, 2011, at the Columbia Christian Church and after 6amCT, Monday until time for service at Columbia Christian Church.
