Richard Chapman, father, brother and friend passed away May 31, 2016. He lived with many health issues but never complained. “A trooper till the end”.

Richard was an iron worker for many years. Later in life he went to work at the Defense Depot Ogden (DDO), as an Inventory Specialist. After the closure of DDO, Richard transferred to Shriver AFB in Colorado. Richard retired in 2011 and continued to live in Colorado Springs until 2013, when he returned to the Ogden area because of health issues.

He married Cheryl Wahlstrom on July 3, 1976 in Elko, NV. They divorced in 1988. They had one son, Dustin, and he also helped raise a son from Cheryl’s previous marriage.
