Edwin Lee Chappell

So sorry to hear of Edwin's passing. He was such a great man, and touched many lives. He was a special person to all the Kahl family.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

My Condolences to Lee Chappell and family! He was an awesome man of God, Bless you all.

Dear Laura and family,

Edwin was one of the most influential people in my life. He was a fabulous inspiration and always made you feel good. I feel so honored that he married Jeff and I and baptized our children. He was so special. I know I am lucky to have know him. Love to all.

Craig and I are sorry to hear of your loss. May God bless you all.

In 1972 I was a young and agnostic High School Football Coach. The local Methodist Minister came to me and asked if I would take two of our local football players to a Football Camp. He told me all of our expenses would be paid for and I would be provided a car by the local car dealer. After some encouragement I agreed to go. We arrived in Estes Park Colorado and we were attending the National Conference of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. In the middle of the week I became a born again Christian and as they say the rest is history. Edwin was my mentor and friend. With his help we started a FCA group at Lovington High School and would average around 100 kids who would attend. I then started to teach the High School class at the Methodist Church and all because he convinced me to go to a football camp. I am crying as I type this because he meant so much to my and my family. He was the best Pulpit Preacher I have ever heard preach and the people he touched are better because of it. Prayers to Laura and all the family

My sympathies to the Gleason family. I have fond memories of Larry as a fellow classmate. He was always very nice to me and I as many will miss him.

We are so sorry about Edwin. He was such a wonderful man. We remember him so fondly and Larry feels that he was such a positive influence in his life. Our prayers are with all the family. May God bless you all with strength, comfort and healing.

Dear Laura,
We wanted to send you our love and condolences. You and Edwin were so kind, sympathetic, and supportive of us when we lost our twin infant sons in 1990.We've never forgotten and are forever grateful. We have 2 lovely grown daughters now and so have been blessed. We pray for your comfort and the blessings of grace. Warmest regards, Jaffa and Dale Baltz, FUMC members

There are no words I can say that does this incredible man justice. All my love to Edwin and his family.

Oh, my goodness! There are no adequate words. I guess I thought he would just go on forever. My love and sympathy to all the beautiful family. Of one thing I am certain, Herb was right there to greet him and continue their walk together. Warm memories will see us through until we can all be together again.

Dear Laura and family, my love, tears and prayers are with you at this sad time. I still miss you and all of the good times we shared at Grace. Serving with you and Edwin was the greatest time of my life. Often, I think of the many things that I learned from you and your family.

Dear Laura and family, We were so sorry to hear of Edwin's passing! You all have such special places in our hearts.

I just know that Edwin and Daddy are walking those streets of gold and having a wonderful conversation. May you feel the peace that passing all understanding and our love.

Dear Laura and Family. I was so sorry to hear that Edwin passed. He was such a special person and I always cherished the kindness and wisdom he always had for me over the years. I was a better person for having him in my life and the world was a better place because of him. Both Edwin and Laura have a special place in my heart and my thoughts and prayers are with you. Love always!

Dear Laura & family,
We were so sorry to hear of Edwin's passing. You both have always held a special place in our hearts. I know he will be missed. I always remember Representative, You all brought the choir from your church in Albuquerque to Santa Fe to sing at the Governor's prayer breakfast. Edwin was so proud of his new pickup because he didn't have to wear a seat belt because he was always after me about that law we passed. Blessings to all of your family. Take care. Love you, Toots & John Green, Alamogordo, NM
