KEVIN CHAPMAN Obituary
Kevin Hunter Chapman
Mar 31, 1953 - Nov 19, 2012
Kevin Hunter Chapman, beloved husband of Carol, cherished father of Allison Chapman and Tara Frank, and grandfather of Erin and Jack Frank, left us on November 19, 2012. Born on March 31, 1953 in Denver, Colorado, Kevin grew up in San Francisco and on the Coastside, before settling in Marin County. Kevin adored his family, loved the outdoors, and enjoyed living life to its fullest. Before his debilitating motorcycle accident in 2004, Kevin was an avid skier, craftsman, and outdoor enthusiast. His eye for detail will always be remembered in his beautiful home in San Anselmo and in many other places. He was treasured by many and will be sorely missed, especially by his girls he left behind. A memorial celebration of his life will be held at ST. RITA Church in FAIRFAX on Saturday, DECEMBER 1, 2012 at 1:30pm.
