Carl Rowland Chapman, 55, died Sunday, September 10, 2023.

Our beloved Carl lived a good life! He was a playful and determined soul.
Carl excelled in kindness as well as excellence in physical accomplishment at Special Olympics. His laughter and fun with others will be fondly remembered as will his decency in always expressing his appreciation to those in his life.
He was funny, and loved to banter with those he cared about. He had a wonderful sense of humor.

Carl's diligence enabled him to work at his long term job, which he loved, until nearly the end.

He loved both his biological family and his longtime KETCH family.
