Tom Chapman was born August 17, 1923 at Kimper, Ky. and departed
this life on January 28, 2014, making his stay on earth, 90 years, 5 months
and 11 days. The son of the late General and Nancy Varney Chapman, the
oldest of fourteen children, he was an inspiration to his brothers and sisters.
Brother Tom enlisted in the army during the World War II conflict in
March of 1943, becoming a paratrooper in November, then being assigned
to the 101st Airborne Division. This precious Brother served his country
with honor, dignity, valor and enormous amount of courage. Being in the
heart of conflict, in the battles of Normandy, Holland, parachuting behind
enemy lines in Bastogne, Belgium during the battle of the Bulge, cut off from allies, surrounded
by the enemy yet he was never cut off from the presence of God. For his valiant service, he
received the Bronze Star, French Medal of Honor, the Belgium Orange Lancer, two Presidential
Unit Citations, four Combat Stars and the German Occupation Medal. After being released
from the army as a staff sergeant, he returned home and began working in the mines. He met
and later married
his first wife, Golessa Blackburn Chapman on June 28, 1952. They were
blessed to share forty-two years together in beloved happiness until Our Heavenly Father called
Sister Golessa home to be with Him on November 5, 1994. Also preceding Tom in death were
four sisters, Mildred Deskins, Chrystalene Chapman, Alma Chapman and Helen Johnson and
three brothers, James Chapman, Don Chapman and Alvin Chapman.
Brother Tom and Sister Golessa were blessed with one daughter, Sharlene Chapman of
Cincinnati, Ohio, two granddaughters, Michelle Brown of Cincinnati, Ohio and Lydia
Dildililian of Florida; two great granddaughters, Alexandria Taylor Brown and Sophia Brown.
Also surviving is his blessed wife, Ruby Anderson Chapman of Canada, Ky.; one step daughter,
Jacklyn Leake of Michigan; two step grandchildren, Tracy Limke and Alisha Limke; brothers,
Elster Chapman of McConlevilles, Ohio, Denver (Annie) Chapman of Cincinnati, Ohio, Doug
(Flo) Chapman of Canada, Ky. and Dee (Jenny) Chapman of Warsaw, IN; sisters, Mable
Donathon of Lake City, MI and Marie (Herb) Thornbury of Canada, KY and a host of family
and friends.
During the period of the late fifties, with work being scarce, Tom and Golessa moved to
Ohio, he began working for Senco Products of Cincinnati and after twenty-seven years of
service, he retired in 1983.
After Brother Tom's and Sister Ruby's beloved companions passed away, it appears the
Mighty Hand of God, once again touched their lives. We who were blessed to know them can
witness to the love, joy, happiness and compassion they had for each other. He would often
times speak of the love he had for her, how life was exciting and challenging every day, there
was never a dull moment. They met in September of 1995 at the Mates Creek Association
hosted by the Raccoon Primitive Baptist Church and were married
on September 18, 1995 at the
Big Creek Church with Elder David Allen officiating, this is the first time Brother David wore a
tie.
Brother Tom united with the Big Creek Primitive Baptist Church in the year of Our Lord,
October 1988, being baptized by Elder Randall Thornsbury and Elder Michael Elswick.
Ordained to the office of a deacon in August 1996, serving the Church faithfully with a
commitment of love for Our Precious Savior and the Sheep of his pasture, the inheritance of
Our Lord.
We, who are alive, sorrow not as others, which have no Hope, for if we believe God raised
Jesus from the dead, then our precious family, regardless of race, color or creed who have fallen
asleep in Christ will live again on that great and notable day of Our Lord.
May we finish with saying, yes, our loss is great, our hearts are broken, his seat in the Grand
Old Church is empty, but Brother Tom will live within our hearts until we also are blessed to
sleep in Sweet Jesus from which none will wake to weep.
I pray to God, in Jesus name we who are alive and remain will continue to follow in the
paths of Rightousness as God had decreed in His Holy Script. Being faithful, steadfast,
unmovable, always abounding in the work of Our Lord Jesus Christ, according to His abundant
Grace, which worketh in us both the will and the do and that of His Own Good Pleasure.
