Felipe Chavarria

The man, the myth, the legend. The men wanted to be him and the women wanted to be with him. Felipe loved watching the Raiders every Sunday, fishing at Woodward Reservoir, cruising garage sales for hidden treasures, and working on the endless array of projects that filled his garage. Felipe was not only the sharpest dresser and best dancer, but also had fiery sense of humor that lit up every room. He met his soulmate Gay in 1976, and the two became inseperable. While there are many great love stories, theirs was the best. Their extraordinary love was bigger than this world and will therefore never cease.
Survived by his wife of 42 years, Gay Chavarria and brothers John and Ray Chavarria. Loving father of Philip Chavarria Jr, Denise Chambers, Theresa Pollard, George Chambers. Father-in-law of Tiffany Chavarria. Proud grandfather of Chelsie Slate, Ashely and Avery Peterson, and Isaiah, Ian and Isaac Chavarria. Great grandfather of Bentley, Jagger and Vada Lynn Slate.
