Steve Chappell, 74, passed into eternity at his home in Sun City on December 28, 2009. His loving wife, Mary, was at his side when he passed away.
Throughout his adult life, he traveled and camped with his family, creating memories of ocean views, mountain campfires, jumping into cool creeks, and sleeping under the stars.
He was a loving and joyful grandfather to his seven grandchildren: Robert, Zachary, Ian, Jeff, Taylor, Aidan and Callum.
He served on worship committees at various churches during his lifetime, most recently in his community in Sun City at Christ Community Church.
Steve, a U. S. veteran, was a pharmacist in Pennsylvania and Arizona. He later served as a business manager for Christian Camps in Northern Arizona: Prescott Pines and Camp Pine Rock. He was also a drywaller, and became skilled in construction, tile, plumbing, and electrical. He volunteered with Habitat for Humanity, aiding in the construction of homes for those in need.
Celebrating his life

from Prescott valley
We had many fond memories of working with Steve at the Northern Arizona Camps in Prescott. He was always most helpful, and always a blessing and so kind. He was a wonderful servant of our Lord, always kind, considerate, and wiling to go the extra mile. We pray that Mary and the rest of the family would be comforted by our Lord at this time.

While at Prescott Pines, I was privileged to work closely w/Steve. His administrative talents were of great benefit to me personally. As a friend, I thank God for his time given to our growing, young sons as well as his tender care & concern of my mom & dad, after mom's heart surgery, when I had to go back to Pennsylvania. I'll see you on the other side my brother.

We worked with Steve at Prescott Pines for ten years. He was a huge help to me as I learned to run the bookstore. He made sure we balanced to the penny! Another memory was the jar of M & M's he kept in his desk drawer. All the little kids on staff knew where they were! Steve was a multi-talented guy and we will miss him..

Steve was a wonderful example to me in my uncertain teen years. He will continue to be an influence in my life because of the very short time I spent with him. I was a summer worker one year at Prescott Pines camp.

Some of my early memories of my dad are goodbye kisses in the morning that smelled like coffee and being held on his knee.
It was my dad who fed me waffles with vanilla ice cream, one of my favorite treats. And I will always think of him when I eat black licorice.
Another memory that stays with me is a phrase he once used. Because he would always want us kids to be ready to do chores around the house, he told us, “Al...
