Howard E. Chapman
February 7, 1938 — December 14, 2020
On February 7, 1938, HOWARD E CHAPMAN was born to the proud parents of Willis H. and Mary J. Chapman in Indianapolis, IN. He attended Indianapolis Public School #44 and then Tech High. Later in 1955, Howard enlisted into the United States Army with 101st Airborne. Howard met and married Nancy Ellen Morgan in 1970, along with her 3 yr. old son, Raymond. To this union, three children were born. When he met Forestjean Johnson in 2001, along with her son Nathaniel at age 6, they united in marriage in 2003.
After his military years, he worked for the Railroads for a good amount of time. He later worked on HVACs and did Office Cleaning till he had his own business: “Chapman’s Commercial Maintenance.” In the 60’s he enjoyed duck hunting with his friends for some time, until he discovered the love of deer hunting. He enjoyed playing pool under the APA of Amateur Pool Players of which he’d won many trophy’s, badges, and jackets pertaining to the game.
Howard knew Christ as his personal savior, by studying and teaching the bible to others. He was a member of Bethel AME of Noblesville, Indiana until his health would no longer allow him to attend. He loved to spend quality time with family and friends. Once in a blue moon, he’d try his luck by having fun at the casino.
