Barbara-Katie Chapman Obituary

Barbara-Katie Chapman was tragically killed May 19, 2006 in a car accident near Fairbanks, Alaska. She would have been 24 years old on June 8th. "B-K" was a sweet, bubbly girl whose earliest loves were bringing home strays and fishing on her daddy's knee. Bright and beautiful, her dream was to be a veterinarian. Dearly loved by family and friends, the loss of her smile, contagious laugh and goofy humor will be missed and mourned forever. Barbara lives on through the lives of those who survive her especially her son Travis Drake Lee Mimms Chapman; her mother Lyssa Chapman (life partner John Greene) of Fairbanks; her father Duane Lee (Beth) Chapman I of Honolulu; her sister Lyssa Chapman II; and her brother Tucker Dee Chapman. Also surviving her are maternal grandparents Grace Worthington and Bobby Lee Matheney; half-brothers Christopher, Duane Lee, Leland, Wesley, J.R., Garry and Nicholas Chapman and half-brothers Jay Brittain and Billy Brown; half-sisters Cecily & Bonnie Jo Chapman; aunts Paula (Frank) Hammond and Kathy (Guy) Mendt; uncles Mike Chapman, Richard, Thomas, and James Worthington, cousins Christine Hammond, Jennifer Hill, Bridgette Galusha, Timothy Mendt, Blake Friend, Jack, John, and Amanda Worthington, nieces and nephews, and a host of family & friends. Preceding Barbara in death are her brother Zeb and her paternal grandparents Wesley and Barbara Chapman. Private services will be held next week at Olinger Crown Hill in Wheat Ridge, Colorado. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to The Barbara-Katie Chapman Memorial Scholarship Fund, 11601 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 2200, Los Angeles, CA, 90025.

I just learned of Bk's death after watching one of the shows and it broke my heart to find out she had passed away. I just wanna say may she rest eternally in peace and may God be with the Chapman's today and always. I have lost a child as well and it never gets easier, I know, but God has given me strength to go on living each day and he has given me peace in my heart. I pray that he will do the same for the family and friends of BK. God bless you all, you're all beautiful and wonderful people. You've changed so many lives for the better and I hope you continue to do so. Rest In Peace BK. You are gone but you will never ever be forgotten... God be with you and by your side always sweetheart...

I watched as the two of you (Duane and Beth) pledged your love for one another as the loss of your daughter consumed you! You did all of this with dignity and grace, as the cameras were rolling!

I am of Christian faith and can only see your precious daughter and my mother looking down and feeling such happiness for the way on which we are living our lives! I watch you faithfully and pray for you always. I am sending you a personal E-mail to tell you more about myself! I truly love you guys and no matter what happens in your life, please never lose sight of the love you have for one another and your children! Please be safe,,,,,,,, Cheryl

I too am a faithful viewer and truly love you all. I know the holidays are here once again, and even though it's been some time since this tragic loss, as a family it feels like yesterday. As youf family gathers for the holiday, smile and say I Love You....smile and look around...Barbara is there....not only in her son....but in all of you. In your smiles, in your laughs, in your eyes, and most importantly in your hearts. She may have left the physical part of this world but she will never leave you. Keep your heads up and smile, because she is sitting next to our Father smiling back and saying I Love You All! May you have peace this holiday and bless seeing Barbara in every one of you. With Much Love and Respect....Patricia and Family

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.
