Dr. Chatham, a retired CPA, passed away on Saturday, July 26, 2014 following a 
lengthy illness. He was a graduate of Neville High School, LSU and attained his 
doctorate at LA Tech University. He served in the National Guard and was a

he served on the Monroe City Planning Commission for many years, as well as in 
the Lion's Club. One of his great joys was serving on the Seeker Springs Board, 
an organization very dear to his heart.

A devoted husband, father and longtime deacon and Sunday School Teacher at First 
Baptist Church of Monroe, LA, Dr. Chatham was dearly loved by many for his 
gentle, patient spirit combined with his smirky grin!

Dr. Chatham is preceded in death by his wife of 47 years, Evelyn Duke Chatham 
and their infant son, as well as his mother and father, Zola and H.M. Chatham.

Survivors include his daughter, Dr. Shelly Chatham McCormick and her husband, 
David of West Monroe, LA and brother, Charles Chatham and his wife, Carol of 
Royal, AR.

Pallbearers will be Chris Allums, Mike Swinney, Mark Saterfield, Troy McCullen, 
Robert Garner, and Mike Joyner.

Honorary Pallbearers will be the deacons of First Baptist Church Monroe, LA, 
along with David Rice and Charlie Flynn.

Visitation will be held from 1:00 P.M. until Service Time Monday at First 
Baptist Church Monroe, LA.

Memorials may be made to the First Baptist Church Monroe or to Seeker Springs 
Encampment.

The family wishes to extend a special thanks to his beloved nurse, Theresa 
Hammett and his sitter, Maxine Crowell, as well as the staff at Stoneybrook 
Memory Care Center and LA Palliative Care.

After a life well lived, "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his 
saints." Psalms 116:15.
