Jon Paul Chapman

Dr. Jon Paul Chapman Sr. died of a heart attack at his home on Dec. 29, 2011. Dr. Chapman owned Chapmans Eye Care in Hot Springs, Ark. Following graduation from Southern College of Optometry, Jon Paul served in the United States Army, and retired as a Lt. Colonel in the reserves after 23 years of service. He is survived by his loving wife of 44 years, Beverly Boone Chapman, and two sons: Paul with his wife Lori, and Mike with his fiancé Liz – as well as his three sweeties Blakeley, Allison and Sophie and his two big guys Caden and Josh, all children of Paul and Lori. He was the ultimate father and grandfather. He loved and adored his grandchildren, and they loved their Poppy. His death will leave a vast void in all of the lives of his family and friends, but his legacy of love and laughter will be forever. There will be an open viewing at Roller-Chenal Funeral Home during normal business hours Monday and Tuesday. A family burial at the Arkansas State Veterans Cemetery on Jan. 4 will be followed by a celebration of his life in the chapel at Fellowship Bible Church – 1401 Kirk Road, Little Rock – at 11 a.m. Friends are invited to come and share this time with the family. There will be a potluck at the church; sides or desserts are welcome. In lieu of flowers donations in Jon's name can be made to Hidden Creek Ministries 10905 W. Markham Road, Little Rock, Ark. 72211.
