Charles Henley

Charles “Chuck” Henley, Jr. has devoted the past seven years to serving his community as an Emergency Medical Technician, and for the last two years has served as On-Duty Supervisor for Pafford Medical Services in Quitman County.

Chuck chose EMS out of a passion for helping others, and he has built a reputation as a professional, steady leader who gives back to both his patients and his colleagues. He is especially proud of the day he and his team saved the life of a child, an experience that reaffirmed his calling to serve.

Known for his integrity and focus, Chuck reminds future EMTs to “stay focused, study, and shoot for the Stars.” He believes that while good providers meet expectations, great providers go beyond them—standing out, making a difference, and inspiring others along the way. He credits Randy Murry and the Pafford family for recognizing the potential in him that he did not initially see in himself.

Outside of work, Chuck treasures time with his children, who are his greatest source of joy and motivation. He describes being chosen as a Star of Life as both exciting and humbling, saying he was surprised to be selected because, in his words, he simply strives each day to do his job with the utmost dedication.

For his passion, perseverance, and leadership, Pafford Medical Services is proud to honor EMT Charles “Chuck” Henley, Jr. as a 2025 Star of Life.
