When our family arrived in Colorado (in 1969), we went to Dr. Chavez for all of our dental needs. When we three Parker girls got to our teenage years, we decided thart we would "spread our wings" and get a dentist of our own choosing (instead of what Mom and Dad chose), we three girls quickly found out that Dr. Chavez was THE best dentist for us. As my sister Cara wrote, he had a wonderful, giving and full heart. He will be missed and I know there is a special place in God;s kingdom for him.

I'll never forget seeing him at my father's funeral in 1992, just one example of Dr. Chavez's bountiful heart. He will be missed by many.

Phyllis and family,
His memory will forever bring a smile to my heart - he lived each day to the fullest and always made me laugh. I'm sure he is playing golf at heaven's finest course. I'm so sorry for your loss - my thoughts and prayers are with you. Lenore Muraoka Rittenhouse

Mrs. Chavez: I know your husband was friend of my father, Henry Rivera and was a mentor of my Brother, Joe Mike Rivera while in Dental school. I only met him a few times in his office and what a great friendly and funny person. I know he will be greatly missed. God bless you and your family.

I have known Dr. Chavez since I was a little girl. I can't believe its been that long since I've been going to see him and Joel. I visited the office on Tejon, in North Denver, several years ago. I would like to offer my heart felt condolences in this very sad time to your family. May God bless you, and help you to get through this very difficult time.
