James Chapman of Morgan Hill, Calif., went home to be with the Lord on July 26, 2022
Jim was born on May 27, 1955 in San Jose, Calif., to Paul and Betty Chapman. He was raised in Morgan Hill along with his brother, Rick Chapman, and sister, Tandra Schulze.
Jim spent his career working as a General Contractor in the King City area building custom homes, track homes and low income housing in Monterey County. While in King City, Jim was an active member of the King City Lions Club, Ducks Unlimited and briefly, The Masons.
In 2001, Jim moved to Chico, Calif., and built New Lines Mini Storage. In 2016, Jim went to stay with his sister, Tandra, and her husband, Frank Schulze, in Morgan Hill.
Jim lived a blessed life as he would often say. His children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren were the joy of his life. He loved to fly his plane, travel, scuba-dive, ski, race go-karts, hunt, fish and just enjoy his time on the delta.
Jim is survived by his children, James Chapman Jr. of Tuscumbia, Ala., Daniel Chapman of Chico, Calif., and Misty Jo and son in-law Eric Smith of Las Vegas, Nev.; nine grandchildren, Austin, Britt, Joshua, Jacob, Cory and Ashley Chapman, Evan, Sean and Maggie Smith; and three great-grandchildren, Connor and Oakley Chapman, and Mitchell Chapman.
