Joseph “Van Earl” Charvat, age 87 of Ellsworth, passed away on Friday, 
March 13, 2020 at the Good Samaritan Village in Ellsworth. Van was born 
on January 5, 1933 to Joseph and Josephine (Lilak) Charvat in Dorrance, 
Kansas. He grew up in the Russell County area but attended Dorrance High
 School, graduating with the class of 1951. Following High School he 
attended Fort Hays State where he earned his bachelors degree. He then 
went to serve our nation faithfully in the United States Naval Air Force
 for 20 years. After Van retired from the Navy he moved to Derby, Kansas
 where he worked as an engineer at Boeing Aircraft Company until his 
retirement in 1994. Van moved back to Wilson where he spent the majority
 of his remaining years.


Van was a spiritual man, his passion was leading others to find our 
Lord and Savior. He was a devout christian and proud of his faith. 


He was a successful organic farmer for 5 years. He enjoyed his 
lunches at Made From Scratch daily, loved his family and the times he 
was able to spend with them.


The Psalmist David said, “The Lord is my strength and my shield; my 
heart trusts in Him.”  Van was a man of strong faith who trusted every 
aspect of his life to the hands of his Lord.  Although we love and miss 
him greatly, we rejoice that the strength and protection Jesus gave him 
is no longer needed, for now his trust has found fulfillment in the same
 loving hands that have now carried him home.


Van is survived by his daughter, Theresa (Joe) Powell of Augusta, 
GA; sister, Mary Jo Babcock of Denton, TX; daughter-in-law, Melanie 
Charvat of St. Louis, MO; and six grandchildren, Olivia, Julia, and 
Broughton Powell, and Melissa, Caleb, and Jon Thomas Charvat.


He is preceded in death by his parents, Joseph and Josephine Charvat; son, Robert Charvat; and a brother-in-law, Warren Babcock.


Private family graveside service has been decided upon due to the 
current COVID-19 outbreak. A Memorial Mass will be held at a later 
date and open to the public.


Memorials have been suggested to the KPRD Radio, the St. Wenceslaus 
Catholic Cemetery or the Good Samaritan Society – Ellsworth Village and 
may be sent in care of Plumer Overlease Funeral Home, PO BOX 533, 
Wilson, KS 67490.
