Obituary For Eugene Chappell

On June 5, 1940, Mr. Eugene Chappell was born to the late Mr. Eddie Chappell Sr. and Beatrice Chappell. He gained his wings on June 10, 2024 in Las Vegas, NV with family.

Lou attended Jefferson County public school systems and as a young adult migrated to West Palm Beach, FL where he began working in the construction industry. Upon returning home to Ga, he gained employment and West End Milling Company, Quitman, GA. As a believer in the Christian Faith, he joined Shumate Street Church of Christ.

With his out-going personality, he met no strangers and was well known in the community where everyone called him “Pops”. On any given day, you could find him in a fresh pair of Addidas, at a convenient store or eating at his favorite restaurant, KFC. He loved spending time with his family, visiting the country and taking vacations to West Palm Beach, FL. He lived a respectful life and often reminded those around him, “respect is given when it’s earned.”

He was preceded in death by siblings, Eddie Chappell Jr, Lee Chappell, and Beatrice Chapell; one son Marven Chappell Sr., and one grandson, Christopher Marven Hallman.
