Jimmy Chapman

Jimmy Newell Chapman, 74, passed comfortably in the early morning of Thursday, June 10th 2021, in the countryside of Briggs, Texas next to his lady-friend, Teresa Summerland.  Jimmy was born in Waco, Texas on June 24, 1946.  He worked his whole life as a crane operator for various shops around the Austin area.  However, his true passion was fishing and winning multiple awards during tournament season.

Jimmy is predeceased by his wife, JoAnn Chapman, father Newell Chapman, and mother Erline Chapman, grandmother Bertha Middleton (Nanny).  Surviving family members not only include his sister Linda Faye Johnson, but also his four children; Tammy Sturgill, Chris Chapman, Larry Hayes, and Kimi Chapman.  There are many grandchildren and even great grandchildren left to cherish his memory.

A special thanks to his best friends, Henry and Trish Cantrell for a lifetime of great memories.

A final word, “Jimmy was loved by all”.
