Chance I remember the days of baseball with your dad and grandpa when you and Jeremy played together. You all had some of the best teams around. You were like your dad always keeping us laughing! You all looked so sharp in the uniforms your Grandpa bought the team loved those days with you all! Praying for your dear and sweet family!
Sending our deepest sympathies. Chance was such a great guy always in a good mood and made you laugh could literally light up a room and I’m still driving your old baby F250 bud you will definitely will be missed
**“Chance, you will be missed beyond words. This is the hardest thing… trying to put into words what you meant to us. We made so many memories together—like the day Mom and Wayne got married, when we both cried as they left for their honeymoon. I’ve watched you grow from those moments into a man who loved his family with everything in you. The way you loved Hopey and Journey was endless, steady, and true.
I’ll never forget when Jake had his accident. I called you, and you came running. You stayed with me, and we cried and laughed our way through those long days in the hospital. For those three months, any time you got called out, you’d call me and say, ‘Hey, you awake? I’m in the parking lot—come down, let’s talk.’ Those late-night talks, those moments you showed up without question… that was your heart.
And Chance, you were legendary in everything you did. You climbed those poles with a skill and passion that made you one of the best—almost perfect. Your work, your dedication, your pride… it all showed.
Your legacy will live on in every memory—every laugh, every tear, every story we’ll tell about the way you loved, lived, and showed up. We’ll carry you with us always.” Love you buddy
