To all the Chavis family, my family’s thoughts and prayers go with you all during this difficult time. I have known Tony since about 1st grade and we grew up about 2 blocks from each other and played all kinds of sports together at home and at school. My son Nathan grew up playing basketball with Ryan. Tony was a great friend, a good man, and he will definitely be missed. May God bless you and comfort you all, and bring you peace.
Ryan and Tommy, We are so sorry about the loss of your father. We are thinking of you and hope that the Lord grants you comfort. Bob and Roberta Brougher Josh and Megan BrougherE
