A quiet strength, a steady hand,

A life that helped so many stand.

With humble grace and faithful stride,

He walked this world with love as guide.

A smile that brought both peace and light,

A voice that made the heavy feel light.

In simple ways, yet strong and true,

He showed what kindness ought to do.

Though now he rests beyond our sight,

His legacy still shines so bright.

For love like his does not depart—

It lives forever in each heart.

Rest gently now, your work well done,

A faithful race so bravely run.

Mr. Gary Chappell, dearly missed,

Forever loved, forever kissed by memory's tender mist.
