James "Jimbo" Chapman, 64, passed away on March 10, 2018 at his home in Lyndon, Kansas.  He was born on November 20, 1953 in Emporia, Kansas, the son of William Clifford and Ida Mae Chapman Neblong.
Jim spent most of his career working as an oil hand on oil rigs and as an over-the-road truck driver.
Jim enjoyed interacting with people, especially his daily trips to Casey's and visiting with those that stopped by to chat with him.  He was always the first to give a giant smile and an enthusiastic hello and to tell a funny story.  He loved nature and enjoyed outdoor activities, especially fishing, camping and tending his garden.
Jim was preceded in death by his parents, William and Ida Mae; and by his two sisters, Mary Ann Faught and Betty Brown.
Jim is survived by his two sons, Jason R. Chapman and wife Tina of Topeka and William Chapman and wife Rachel of rural Auburn; and his four grandchildren, Logan, Willow, Jubilee and Lincoln Chapman.
Memorial services for Jim will be at 7:00pm on Friday, March 16 at the Feltner Funeral Chapel in Lyndon.  The family will receive friends from 6:00pm until service time.
