( June 9, 1960 - November 12, 2016 )
Gregory Allen Chapman, age 56, of Lincolnton, passed away Saturday, November 12, 2016. He was born June 9, 1960, in Lincoln County, to the late LTC Donald R. Chapman and Suzanne Beal Chapman. Survived by his sister, Karen Chapman Berkheimer, brother Michael Brett Chapman and wife Juze, aunt Peggy Sibert and husband Wayne, aunt Cathy Bayliss and husband Jack, uncle Eddie Beal and wife Janet.
Born with the “gift of gab”, Greg never knew a stranger and could charm most anyone with a smile and a funny story – because Lord knows - he walked an adventurous path! Greg lived in such places as Aschaffenburg and Heidelberg, Germany; Camp Zama, Japan; Korea; and Izmir, Turkey, and even had the honor of graduating high school in the ancient amphitheater at Ephesus, Turkey. As the oldest child and with his curious nature, Greg truly experienced the different cultures he was exposed to creating life-long friendships along the way.
Greg attended Gaston College, Lees McRae, and Johnson & Wales College of Culinary Arts. He enjoyed fishing, cooking, and was a WWII enthusiast, but his family and friends always ranked highest in his heart.
Services for Greg will be Thursday, November 17 at 2:00 p.m. in the Warlick Funeral Home Chapel. Visitation will be prior to the service from 1:00 until 1:45 p.m. Interment will follow in Hollybrook Cemetery.
Memorials can be made to YMCA – a worldwide organization encouraging Christian principles through a healthy spirit, mind, and body.
