Donald Dean Chapman was the fourth child of eight born to Floyd and Bethel Chapman on the family farm near Hoxie, Kansas on October 19, 1939. He passed away peacefully at home on July 12, 2024 in Pueblo, Colorado with his wife of fifty-five years, Lynn Chapman and hospice caregivers by his side.
He is survived by three of their four children and their grandchildren: Kelly Phillips and son Ashton Kiprotich; Jenny Chapman George (Eric George) and her daughter Jazzlynn Owen-Chapman and stepchildren Jackie George and Nathan George; Ben Chapman (Linnea Chapman) and daughter Hailey Chapman and son Carter Chapman. Their son Joshua Chapman (Destiny Chapman) preceded him in death in June of 2022 at age 45.
Donald excelled as a wrestler in high school by winning 54 consecutive matches including a state title. He attended college on a wrestling scholarship, earning a BS in civil engineering in 1962 from the University of Kansas. After six years of working as an engineer in the missile industry, he attended Palmer College of Chiropractic where he graduated as valedictorian and becoming a Doctor of Chiropractic in 1971. He practiced chiropractic from 1972-1995, at which time he became a real estate broker and worked with his son Joshua, retiring in 2022 due to health problems.
For the past fifty years, Don and Lynn have been reading and studying The Urantia Book, a book of spiritual revelations that offers a God perspective of reality.
He will be missed by family, friends, and the Pueblo, CO community where they have lived for almost forty years. He was very interested in healing people and the workings of the body and mind; and he will continue helping people in his eternal career.
Don wrote part of this Obituary and ended it with “I love you ALL.–Donald.”
A private family memorial will be held.
life together. I can only imagine that these times have been very difficult. Just know that others think of you fondly and will help if asked. Don will join the heavenly angels you saw so I hope you find comfort in that.
wondeful life im sure he had, and with a partner like Lynn folowing the Urantia revelation. He is for sure now received on high with angels singing.
To Lynn. It was a pleasure to be of help to both you and Don as a housekeeper in the past. I really thought of yous as my “special” clients. It is with much saddness to learn of Josh’s passing 😯🥺It will be hard to accept the void. And know that I enjoyed our little talks🫠 I want to thank you for your strength and friendship throughout the years. Wishing you memories that ease your loss and love that heals your sadness. Pure hearts and prayers are with you and your family. Miss you dearly. Much love to you and yours. Romona
Didn’t know Don, but seems like he had an Andite spirit from his history of different ventures. Hope he was able to synthesize that knowledge for his and others sake.
So sorry to hear about Don. May the four winds blow him safely home.

He will be greatly missed! I always appreciated his perspective and deep understanding of the Urantia book. See you on the other side Don. 💜
Today, you are officially on your way. We don’t know anyone more prepared for this awsome journey.
