The Lord called Orville "Sonny" Eugene Chappell Home on October 23, 2021. Memorial services will be held Thursday November 11th from 6-8pm at Bellmead Funeral Home. His ashes will later be spread across the Rocky Mountains in Colorado.

Sonny was born on July 8th and grew up in Waco, Texas. He worked as a Group Lead in the Heat Treat Department at Huck Fasteners for 32 years, where he made forever friends that turned into family. During times of need, he was always there to lend a hand with a smile on his face. Sonny loved hunting, fishing, and being in the great outdoors. One of his favorite places to be was Colorado, where he would often travel, and make everlasting memories with his family. He was dedicated to being a loving husband, father, and PawPaw. Though Sonny may be gone, he will never be forgotten.
