EXPRESSING PROFOUND SORROW OF THE MEMBERS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY AT THE DEATH OF LANCE CORPORAL MICHAEL CHAPPELL OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA HIGHWAY PATROL AND EXTENDING DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO THE MEMBERS OF HIS FAMILY AND MANY FRIENDS.
Whereas, Lance Corporal Michael Chappell of the South Carolina Highway Patrol died in the line of duty on Monday, April 17, 1995, at the age of forty-one; and
Whereas, he died after his vehicle crashed while apparently pursuing another vehicle near Manning; and
Whereas, he was one of the most respected troopers on the force, had an exemplary record on the Highway Patrol, and was an outstanding role model as a state trooper, having joined the Highway patrol in August, 1987; and
Whereas, he lived in Paxville, and his survivors include his wife and two sons; and
Whereas, the members of the General Assembly grieve over the loss of this fine man and excellent state trooper and want the members of his family and his friends to know that they have the members' love, prayers, and support during this very difficult time. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, expresses profound sorrow at the death of Lance Corporal Michael Chappell of the South Carolina Highway Patrol and extends deepest sympathy to his family and many friends.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Lance Corporal Chappell's family at Paxville.
