Chip will be missed by everyone that ever knew him. He was such a kind hearted person - always there to help, but never asking for help himself. We'll miss him, his friendship and his laugh. Prayers and love to the wonderful family he left behind.

Chip was the best. Just the best. I will miss him more than I can express but God has a good'un. I would love to hear one more "Hey Young'un" or "What up" or "Settin' on it.... but to know he is so very happy now and free from pain is comforting. Above everything, he loved his family.
