John Eric Chapman

John Eric went home to be with the Lord on Sunday, January 21, 2024 at the age of 94. He will be lovingly remembered by his three sons, Doug Chapman and his wife Peggy, David Chapman and Stephen Chapman and his wife Erica; his daughter, Beverley Louise McLaughlin and her husband Thomas McLaughlin. He was predeceased by his loving wife, Alma Chapman.

Dad enjoyed watching Golf, playing Crib and dabbling in the Market buying and selling stocks after a career of working in Management at Montreal Trust. In his younger years he played golf, curling and bowling. Later in life he dabbled in painting and studying mushrooms.

Dad was honored to have 11 Grandchildren, Doug’s children, Beverley Ann and John; Beverley’s children, Angelique, Chanel, Darren and Chris; David’s children, Lacey, Jaimie and Eric; Stephen’s children, David and Chris.

He was also blessed to have 18 Great-Grandchildren, Beverley Ann’s children, Chanel and Rowan; John’s children, Lucus and Jessie; Angelique’s children, Angus and Audrey (predeceased); Chanel’s children, Atticus and Adrian; Darren’s children, Adam and Jake; Chris’ children, Cassie and Everett; Lacey’s children, Elias and Elsie; Jaimie’s children, Amelia and Alex; and Chris’ children, Kohen and Mason.

Dad had the great privilege of being a Great-Great-Grandfather to Adam’s daughter, Isabelle.

Dad was the last living member of his immediate family of birth but was much admired by many living nieces and nephews, Albert Kitchen and wife Joan, Meta MacLean, Audrey Kitchen, Ronald Kitchen, Louise Chapman, Linda Chapman, Bill Chapman, Nancy Chapman and Sandra Chapman and their families.

He also leaves behind much loved in-laws, Erma, Charles, Betty, Anne, Charles and Shirley and their families.

I hope I haven’t forgotten any of family members. I know Dad had many living friends that are a lot like family. You know who you are! Thank you for being in Dad’s life.

We appreciated Home Care for two years and grateful to Foothills Hospital for caring for Dad before he was placed in Bow View Manor. Thank you to all at Bow View Manor who looked after Dad for the last 6 months and thanks to the Emergency staff and Unit 72 at Rockyview for caring for Dad in his last few days here.

We are at Peace knowing that Dad is at peace in Heaven with his loving wife Alma.
