Help us pay for Chip's burial expenses!

Brett Cole's brother and my brother-in-law, Charles "Chip" Leffel passed away abruptly on Saturday evening, July 1st, 2023. It came as a shock and we are still very much processing the sudden loss. He was 36 years old.

We'll remember the good times with Chip. He was a great dog dad to Leo, loved football and played defensive line in high school and community college, had the gift of gab, had a big heart for others even if he didn't always show it, and had a lot of love and support from family and friends.

We wished we had more time with Chip; especially after bonding over the mutual loss of Luanne Rose. Chip deeply felt the loss of Luanne in the past 14 months and it gives us some peace that they are together in heaven. Chip is survived by Bruce Rose; step-dad, Carmel Rose; step-grandmother, Todd Cole; oldest brother, Brett Cole; middle brother, Jennifer Loesch; sister-n-law, Tyler Cole; nephew, several aunts, uncle, and several cousins.

Since we are Chip's closest next of kin, we have the hard task of having to handle his burial arrangements, bills/expenses, and memorial service. For those interested in attending, send us a message and we'll email out the details. We are looking to put together his memorial service in the August/September time frame.

Thank you for any of the support you can provide to us during this difficult time! Prayers would also be appreciated
