Obituary of Jeff Chapman

CHAPMAN, Jeffery Francis — Age 36, of Williamswood. It is with heartfelt sadness that we announce the passing of Jeff on Tuesday, November 24, 2009, in QEII Health Sciences Centre. Jeff was a long haul truck driver, something that he always wanted to do, the bigger the truck the better. He loved his three nieces dearly and they were what kept him going. He was a hero to everyone. Jeff was a grateful organ recipient and a gracious donor. He will be lovingly remembered and never forgotten by his devoted mother, Donna Chapman, Williamswood; sister, Stacey (Darren Collins), Halifax; nieces, Victoria, Brooke and Jillian; several aunts, uncles and cousins. He was predeceased by his father, Melvin and maternal grandmother, Emily. The family would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to Kate, Dr. Crowell and the staff of the QEII, for their excellent care given to Jeff during his time with them. Arrangements are under the care and direction of J. A. Walker Funeral Home (2005) Ltd., 149 Herring Cove Rd., where visitation will be held on Friday from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. Funeral service will be held Saturday at 11 a.m. from St. Michael's Roman Catholic Church, with a reception to follow in the church hall. Family flowers only. Donations in Jeff's memory may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Nova Scotia.
