It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Jason Chapman on Thursday, November 13, aged 51. Jason was a much-loved son to Sandra and Rex, a devoted partner to Karen, and dad to Caleb and Britney. Cherished by his five brothers, three sisters, their partners, and all his beloved nieces and nephews. He is also remembered with love by his three sons, daughters-in-law, and his six grandchildren, who held a very special place in his heart. Jason lived life with a big heart and a love for the open road. Truck driving wasn't just his job. it was his passion and he passed away doing what he loved most.
