John Earl Chapel, age 76 of Columbia, Tennessee, went “Home to Rest” on Wednesday, April 8, 2015.
John is at peace and resting now after a few years of medical issues. His close friends and family were blessed to have been given the opportunity to spend Easter with him, which was an amazing gift. They will miss him greatly, and cherish their memories of his warm heart. God has now gained an amazing soul in heaven.
