Mike Chapel

Mike Chapel, beloved husband, father, grandfather "Patcher", and friend, passed away in a sudden accident on June 14, 2016. He was 65 years old.

He is survived by his wife, Dot Chapel, his daughter and grandson, Tasha & Jayden Chapel, his son & daughter-in-law, Jason and Stephanie Chapel, and his brothers, William "Butch" & Patrick Chapel. He was preceded by his parents, Bill & Dolly Chapel.

He was the rock of our family. Mike walked closely in his journey with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and was passionate about sharing the good news of Jesus. Mike was a State Farm Agent for 30 years and worked alongside his son for the last 7. He loved becoming a recent racing kart aficionado and coach to his grandson, Jayden. He was also an avid woodworker and loved playing bluegrass music. One of his greatest passions was working outdoors in God's beautiful creation. He and Dot have lived in Nashville, IN for the last 4 years, where Mike worked hard, and successfully, to make it their haven.

He was a wonderful, loving, funny, God-fearing man and will leave those impressions with all who came to know him. He never met a stranger. He will be deeply missed. He was remembered on Saturday June 18th 2016.
