Paul Loren Chapman of Greenbrier, Arkansas went to be with the Lord on May 21, 2023. He was born on September 24, 1958 in Shelbyville, Illinois to Loren and Beulah Chapman.
Family was his most treasured possession. He loved his kids and grandkids hard. We were his world and he made us promise to stick together.
He worked on the railroad for 41 years. Pap enjoyed fishing, hunting,and going to the lake. Where his kids and grandkids were, that’s where you would find him. The outdoors was his favorite thing as long as we were there. He could fix anything and was the best machinist around. He took anyone one in that needed help or just some guidance. Always had a solution for everything. He may have left but he left a legacy. Carry it on. He blessed a lot of lives and will continue to do that.
