Chance was employed for five years at Mize CPA’s and recently started a new job at Midwest Health. Chance also served on the Topeka Transit Authority Board.

In his spare time, Chance enjoyed playing golf with his dad, sister and “golfing-buddies,” and every weekend, watching football, basketball, soccer and golf tournaments on television with his close friends and his girlfriend, Harley.

We so loved that Chance chose to live here in Topeka. We had so much fun hanging out at our pool with him and all of his friends. There is going to be a huge void in our lives without him here. Our family is so very close and our love for one another is endless. We love you Chance and we are so proud of you.
