Floyd "Skip" Almon Chase II

Floyd “Skip” Chase went to be with The Lord on July 4th, 2023 in El Paso, Texas. He was born to Charles Chase & Bessie Chase Hedglin on August 24, 1943 in the Philippines. Skip is preceded in death by his parents, brother Charlie, and sister Patricia. He is survived by his sister Jackie; his children Cynthia, Jacqueline, and Jonathan; and his grandchildren Sabrina, Ava, Andrew, Joyceline, Adeline and Jazmine.

He served in the U.S. Navy during Vietnam and was awarded the National Defense Service Medal, Vietnam Service Medal, Republic of Vietnam Campaign Medal, and Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal (Korea).

For 29 years he worked at Farah Incorporated (later called Savane International) as Director of Information Services Operations.

We will always remember how he loved playing the piano for family and friends; his funny sense of humor and storytelling; his genuine care & concern for others; and his easy-going, positive attitude for life. Our love for Skip will not end because he is no longer with us -- it will continue to grow each time our memories are triggered by the ways he touched & affected our lives. He was deeply loved and will be greatly missed here on Earth as he joins passed family in Heaven above.
