Chaiyos Chotinikorn

Chaiyos Chotinikorn ("Chai-Chai")

57, of Tulsa, Oklahoma, passed away peacefully at home on Friday, February 20, 2026.

Chaiyos, affectionately known as "Chai-Chai," was born on July 29, 1968, in Nakhon Rathasima, Thailand, to James and On Webb. Growing up, he was passionate about sports, especially soccer and Muay Thai kickboxing, which he enjoyed throughout his childhood. He later attended Valley High School in Las Vegas, Nevada, where he built lifelong friendships.

For over 30 years, Chai worked at Go Fresh, where he was more than just an employee-he was part of a family. His love for his work and his colleagues was unwavering. Outside of work, Chai was deeply committed to his own family, lovingly helping to raise five bonus children.

Chai found joy in simple pleasures: dancing with friends, visiting the casino, driving his car with the music cranked up loud, and cheering on his favorite sports teams. He was a passionate fan of the San Francisco 49ers and the OKC Thunder, sharing his enthusiasm for the games with those around him.

Chai was preceded in death by his grandmother Yai Noi, father James Webb, mother On Webb, son-in-law Aron Peace, and father-in-laws David and Richard, and mother-in-law Coleen.

He is survived by his sister, Kim Keenan (Mike) of Las Vegas, NV; his son Salpong Chotinikorn of Tulsa, OK; daughter Chelsea Chotinikorn (Henry) of Mounds, OK; and his beloved stepchildren: Steve Sanchez (Keitha) of Colorado, Crystal Peace of Choteau, OK, Regina Sanchez of Broken Arrow, OK, Miguel Sanchez (Sandra) of Broken Arrow, OK, and Megan Bruner (Marlon) of Bartlesville, OK. Chai is also survived by his cherished grandchildren: Ahnika, Aaleigha, Delilah, Tre, Guiliana, Allyson, Aubrey, E'lee, Malaki, and Lilliana, as well as his great-grandchildren: Kyson and Darla.

Additionally, he leaves behind numerous nephews, nieces, cousins, and friends who will miss his warmth, humor, and presence.

A memorial service to celebrate Chai's life will be held on February 28, 2026 at 10:00 am at Green Hill 9901 North Owasso Expressway, Owasso, OK 74055.
