He was a sweet, loving man whose greatest joy in life was spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren.
Chip loved hunting, spending time at his property, and making memories with the people he loved most. He dedicated many years of hard work to Hootens, where he built lasting friendships and was respected by many.
He was preceded in death by his father, Dale Haynes, and his grandparents.
He is survived by his loving children: his son and daughter-in-law, Stephen and Darcy Haynes; his daughter, Jennifer Haynes; and his daughter and son-in-law, Michael and Brandi Schurwon.
Chip was a proud grandfather to Ashton Locke, Kaden Ake, Hadley Palmore, Haylee Schurwon, Emerson Carderilla, William Haynes, Blakey Haynes, and Harris all of whom brought immense pride and happiness to his life.
He is also survived by his mother and stepfather, Charles and Wanda Hunt; his sister and brother-in-law, Monty and Lori Murphy; his sister and brother-in-law, Jim and Leah Fortenberry; along with many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends who will miss him deeply.
Chip will be remembered for his kind heart, and his memory will forever live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
