Dude leaves behind his wife Christine, daughter Amber, son Corey and grandson Gage, as well as his four fur babies.

He was born January 30, 1957, to Robert and Ragna Chapman fondly known as Bob and Bobbee. Dude was born and raised in Coulee Dam where he lived his entire life. He knew the land lakes and rivers like the back of his hand and became an expert hunter and fisherman. Dude found and married his love and partner for life Christine. Together they spent their lives doing those things. He was an excellent game cook and was known as the best dill pickler in the West. Dude was great at living off the land and if you knew him you knew he loved to laugh and tell his stories.
