Collins Chapman Obituary
Collins was a proud member of the Catalpa Church of Christ. He was a hardworking individual with a quick wit who had a stubborn streak. He found joy in woodworking and had a knack for crafting beautiful pieces with his hands. He also loved playing guitar, often strumming tunes that brought smiles to those around him. A true conversationalist, Collins enjoyed talking to people and always had an entertaining story.
