 Kenneth
Wayne Chapman, 62, born April 26, 1951, in
Woodland, California, to Delton Louis and
Barbara Chapman, died September 25, 2013, after
a long battle with liver failure caused by an
accident at the chemical company where he
worked. Funeral services will be at 11 a.m.
Saturday, September 28, at Boundary Baptist
Church, 65584 Highway 2, Bonners Ferry.
Burial will follow at the Paradise Valley
Cemetery. A brunch and celebration will follow
at a location to be announced during burial
service.
Kenneth married his beautiful wife Marilyn Fay
August 31, 1968, at the age of 17. In 1998, they
moved to Bonners Ferry to enjoy a healthier
lifestyle. They were married for 45 wonderful
years.
They had three children; Steven Chapman, Athol,
Idaho, Louis Chapman, and Elaine Lecrenski, both
of Bonners Ferry. They have nine grandchildren;
Kasandra and Keither Lecrenski, Brandon, Brec
and Celease Kennedy and David, Kenny, Kendra and
Kyia Chapman, and two great-grandchildren; Kenzi
and Oden Chapman.
Kenneth's greatest accomplishments were his
loving family and how much he achieved in spite
of so little formal education.
He enjoyed telling jokes, going to auctions and
yard sales and he loved fishing, camping,
socializing with people and spending time with
his family.
Those who knew him remember him as a fighter;
six years ago, his doctors told him he only had
six months to live. He always seemed to beat the
odds. He never gave up, and that gave everyone
more time to "be with Kenneth."
Kenneth was greeted in heaven by Delton Louis
Chapman, Brandon Kennedy and Von Morgan.
We all love you and you will be greatly missed. |
