Joe Chapa Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
He was preceded in death by his brother Erasmo B. Chapa on January 13, 2004; his parents; Erasmo S. Chapa on June 11, 2007; Julia B. Chapa on July 17, 2011.
Those who had the pleasure and privilege of knowing my Dad knew the kind of man he was. My Dad was the sweetest, most caring man. He was the type to literally give you the shirt off his back. He always helped whenever asked no matter what it was. My Dad would befriend anyone he came across. He was definitely a talker and could talk your ear off. I was truly blessed to have him for a Father. He was the best Dad anyone could ever ask for as well as the best Grandpa. If you were to ask my cousins they would say he was the "Favorite Tio". I have nothing but great memories throughout my life. He used to call me every morning to say hi and check on me usually around the same time everyday and when I didn't get a call I would call him or my Mom wondering why I hadn't got my daily morning call. I wish I could get just one more phone call, one more good morning mija, or one more I love you. I'd give anything to hear his laugh one more time or get one more hug. As broken as my heart is and as hard as this is for me, knowing he is no longer in pain and no longer suffering brings me peace. I know he's in Heaven rejoicing with our Good Lord above and I know that this is not the end. and I know I will see him again. Until then give Popo, Momo, and Tio a kiss for me. I love you always Daddy. Your babygirl now and forever - Kat
