Haskell "Sammy" Eugene Chapman's Obituary
Haskell “Sammy” Chapman (60) passed away on December 16, 2024, in Tampa, Florida.
Sammy’s loving spirit is carried on by his son Eric Chapman and granddaughter Harmony, his sister Heather Rosas (Jose), his nephew Chris Hryc (Ashley) and Niece Samantha Causey (Kevin). Preceding him in peace were his parents Janice and Haskell “Sam” Chapman, his brother Greg Chapman, and sister Roxanne Hryc.
Sammy loved simply sitting on the porch, listening to music, and socializing with friends old and new, and loved a good debate. He fought against multiple health issues these last few years with unwavering courage and levity. Despite spending much of that time in hospitals and health facilities, he never lost his sense of humor, or his fighting spirit. Throughout his entire journey, he spread joy, made everyone laugh, and showed remarkable strength. His humor and bravery will be missed.
We ask that you remember him not for the way his life ended, but for the way it was lived, and for the profound impact it had on the lives of those who had the pleasure of knowing him.
