Early on Sunday morning, June 18, 2023, David S. Chappell passed away at Baptist Medical Center Jacksonville after a courageous battle with multiple illnesses. He is survived by the loves of his life, his wife, Amanda Jean Davis Chappell, and his son, Jacob Alexander Davis, as well as the late beloved family dog, Bosco. He is also survived by his Father Waylon S. Chappell (Joanne), Mother Peggy Ann Jones Chappell Johnson, Brother Christopher S. Chappell, Niece Katelynn Chappell, Paternal Grandparents Lester and Leona Chappell, deceased, Maternal Grandparents John Elmer and Mary Louise Jones, deceased, In-Laws Richard and Diana Davis, as well as numerous family members, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends and co-workers.
David loved his family first and foremost. He enjoyed spending time with them at the beach, relaxing together, watching movies, laughing, and teasing them relentlessly. He had such a great sense of humor and loved to make people laugh. He enjoyed finding new restaurants to experience, the spicier and the hotter the food the better, especially chicken wings, barbeque and hot dogs which were his favorites. David was a great cook and grill master, and he and Amanda collaborated on trying many new recipes. He loved motorcycles, cars, fishing, guns, music, animals, books and photography, and could fix or build just about anything. David was also an avid sports fan, and especially loved the Georgia Bulldogs, Atlanta Braves, and NASCAR.
David had been in the Generator business for almost 25 years, and was employed with ACF Standby Systems as a Service Sales Consultant. He was loved and respected by many coworkers, colleagues and friends.
David was an absolutely wonderful man with a loving heart and a beautiful, giving soul who brought tremendous joy to his family and everyone who knew him. He will be loved and missed forever.
In lieu of flowers, please make a donation in David’s name to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
