Michael "Mikey" Slay Chapman

STILL THINKING ABOUT YOU EVERY DAY. MISS YOU SO MUCH.

Just looking at a classmates memorial and thought of you. I love you and wish so many things could be different, I guess the peace I'm finding knowing that I can't change anything is kind of progress. You were my best friend, my partner in crime, my confidante, my first obession, my first love. You will always remain a part of my heart and soul. I love you very much Michael Slay. I hope I make you proud in life, I hope I haven't disappointed you too badly. I know you are up there with Bear watching over me and Megan, ya'll just guide us through. Your little girl is getting so big, her mama takes tons of pictures, she is so beautiful, a mini-you especially with those eyes. You and Brandi made a beautiful baby together and I am sure she will never miss a moment to tell Zoe Jane about her wonderful father and all the funny, caring things he did and how much he loves her. I love you so much Mikey! I wish you were still here, but I know I'll see you again

This tragedy was the most world shattering experience i have ever had. Michael was one of the best people i have ever known. Every day little things will remind me of him and then it feels like im hit with a ton of bricks when realization occurs that ill never be able to see those beautiful sincere dark brown eyes of his and that big smile. he was my best friend and the love of my life. i knew michael for almost ten years and loved him from the very moment i heard his voice, just through his voice i could tell he was a person that would do anything for you, and he did. I know he did so much for me alone. i remember the first time i met him i was so young but had the HUGEST crush on him and everyone knows how crazy you get about childhood crushes lol, but he watched me grow into an adult and i watched him mature into a man. all we can do now is be thankful for the time that we had with him and know hes up there with jimi hendrix and willie nelson having some fun. I hurt so badly for every member of his family Teresa (gammy) wayne (popa) eric jamey cody peytie poo GG and his extended family and the beautiful dream of his (zoe jane) that came true for him before he was taken. its sad to think of zoe never being able to physical remember her father, but his soul will always be with her and no one can take that away, as it will also be with everyone michael loved. cause you know he couldnt just leave us... if he loved someone he loved them with all of his heart, so you have to know he is lookin out for us and will always be like the little mikey angel/devil that sits on your shoulder, only if he had it his way, he'd make himself visible and bug the heck outta you. I love you Michael Slay Chapman and always will. Not a day goes by or will that you wont cross my mind.

My baby has been gone for a month now and the pain is no less than it was the day he was killed. I have read the comments and I want to thank all of you so much. Michael was very special, even from birth. He touched everyone he came into contact with and his beautiful smile could melt a snow covered mountain. He was my "little hippie" and I miss him so much. He just wanted everyone around him to be happy. And being around him you couldn't help it. I love you and miss you so much Michael. You took a piece of heart with you that day...it's yours and I give it to you lovingly and willingly. Forever in my heart....Mom

Brandi and family I know there are not any words right now that can ease the pain but know that there are alot of people praying for you! Mikey was a great person and coworker. He always had a smile on his face and could make you laugh. Sometimes we don't understand why things happen the way they do but I believe God had special plans for Mikey!
