Scott Chapman Palm Bay, Florida

April 28, 1957 – October 19, 2023

Scott Chapman passed from this life on October 19, 2023, at the age of 66.

Scott was born at Travis Air Force Base in Fairfield, California. Scott grew up as a military dependent and enjoyed living in various places. He graduated from Satellite High School, Satellite Beach, Florida in 1976. He married his wife, Becki Frost Chapman, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma on February 23, 1977, while attending Sooner Mechanical Trade School where he earned a degree as a certified pipe welder. He enjoyed that career until he completed a home study course on automobile customizing in December of 1980, and had found his passion in work and life. Scott, his father, and brother David ran a family business, Chapman’s Automotive, in Pawnee, Oklahoma. When his Dad retired, Scott started his own business, Scott’s Custom Bodyworks. In 1987, Scott and Becki along with their daughter Missy moved to Palm Bay, Florida. Scott had a wide variety of interests and usually had a project car going while also working at various dealership Bodyshop’s in the area. He always enjoyed fishing, playing his guitars, growing amaryllis flowers and pineapples and he was excited about the prospect of finally getting coconuts on the trees he planted several years ago. Scott had an easy laugh and a big heart. He was always a hard worker and diligent with whatever he undertook. He shared an infinite love with his daughter Missy. He will be greatly missed by “his girls“ and all those who love him.
Scott is survived by his wife, Becki, and daughter, Missy, and their loyal cat, Kitty, of Palm Bay, Florida, his brother Troy Chapman of Pawnee, Oklahoma and sister Janet Chapman of Stillwater, Oklahoma, many nieces and nephews across the states and extended family members, all of
whom he holds dear.
Scott is preceded in death by his parents, Robert and Ginger Chapman, brother David, sisters Susan and Lisa and his niece, Valerie.

A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
