Louis Chambless Obituary
He was born to Victor Louis Chambless and Iris Avyle Phelps Chambless on March 18,
1944, in Orchard, Texas. Dean, as he was known, was a devoted crane operator and a

Russel Phelps, Leonard Curtis Chambless, and Richard Allen Chambless; and sister
Shirley Mitchell.
Those left to cherish his memory include his wife, Dorene Chambless;

and Gloria Jean Reeves; as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

I worked with Dean many years operating cranes at Austin Industrial job sites. He always had a smile on his face and made the long working hours a breeze with his great attitude and personality in everything he did. He will be missed by me and many others.
