Wayne E. Chapman, 84 of Bellefontaine passed away Saturday, January 17, 2026 at Ayden Healthcare of Belle Springs.

Wayne was born March 1, 1941 in Bucyrus, OH to the late Jesse Allen and Dorothy Elizabeth (Harshbarger) Chapman.

He is also survived by his children, Steven Russell (Cindy) Chapman, Wayne (Tamra) Chapman and Bob (Joanna) Chapman; grandchildren, Bobby, Jackie, Kaitlynne, Brooke, Billy and Joe; great granddaughter, Isabelle Chapman; many nieces and nephews.

Wayne enjoyed drawing, golf and outdoors. He also really enjoyed woodworking. Wayne loved spending time with his family, especially his grandkids. He loved attending all their events and sports. Those who knew Wayne would know he could be a bit of a talker. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

He is preceded in death by his siblings, Donald Chapman and James Chapman.

A Gathering of Family and Friends will take place at a later date.
