Dave CHANEY Obituary

CHANEY, Dave I've been fortunate to have some great friends, far too many to mention them all. I married my soul mate Linda Branstetter in 1973 and I'm looking forward to being with her again. It's been quite a trip and I wouldn't change a thing. Born February 9th, 1947 in Tulsa, Oklahoma to Will Wilson Chaney and Ann Trout-Chaney, We are survived by two amazing daughters, Shana Chaney-Ellis and Erin Ermish --we couldn't ask for better. Shana's husband Jay and Erin's husband Gary are great people and I'm happy both joined our family. I am survived by three brothers, Bill, Michael, Richard and two sisters-in-law Claudia Chaney and Kelli Branstetter as well as my aunt and uncle Rex & Dale Trout. My friend and mother in-law Cecilia Branstetter who still lives in Tulsa with my friend Art Yetter. Jack Branstetter is like my fourth brother rather than a brother-in-law, he was there for Linda and I, thanks. There are six ladies I consider more than friends, they are my sisters: Bernetta Davis, Susan Amador, Janice White, Wendi Cook, Donna Bradley and Seema Patel. I must have been a better person in a previous existence for these powerful women to come into our life. These ladies stepped up and made it possible for Linda and me to get through the worst two years of my life. I made it through high school and then spent 4 years in the Marine Corps. I've seen tigers in the jungle, northern lights above the Arctic Circle. I've sky dived, ridden & raced motorcycles, white water kayaked and been reasonably competitive at Handgun Metal Silhouette. It's been a heck of a ride and we're going to Disney World. A Celebration of Life for dad (David) will be held on Sunday, June 26th 2-4 at Rocco's Pub in Marietta, GA. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to The Salvation Army.

I am so sorry about Dave passing, I just knew yesterday of his death, my condolences to Shanna and Erin, to the brothers and his friends, to the mother in law here in Tulsa: Cecilia, I try to contact Billy but not answer, I hope that he is doing ok. I truly missed my neighbors the Chaney Bill and Ann they were so dear! Since I live across the street when I look over, their home is so empty... I miss Bill's e-mails they were funny, Again my love to the brothers and to the girls I am so sorry!

I knew Dave through his wife Linda. Dave was always very kind to me and he was a joy to be around.

In the 17 years I worked with Linda, she spoke of Dave and the girls often.

They both will be dearly missed.

Dave was a genuinely nice guy and a pleasure to be around. Alana and I always enjoyed his company at the range. He will definitely be missed!

I met Dave through the silhouette matches. He was a nice and generous man to a fault. With his passing IHMSA is certainly diminished. I know that as well as ourselves the rest of his shooting friends will certainly miss him.
