Richard "Chance" McGinness' Obituary
Our hearts are full as we remember Chance, a kind and humble soul who touched our lives in so many ways.
Born in Nashville, TN, Chance's love for music was evident from an early age. Gifted musically, he found joy in playing the guitar, sharing melodies with family and friends, yet he also cherished the peaceful moments of playing just for himself.
Chance had a deep appreciation for nature. He often spent time alone outdoors, praying and meditating, finding solace and a profound connection in the tranquility of the wilderness. His creative spirit shone through not just in his music, but also in his love for games, especially video games where he found camaraderie with friends online.
Family meant the world to Chance. He especially treasured moments with his niece and nephew, creating memories filled with laughter and love. Holidays were a special time for him; he delighted in Easter mornings with his beloved chocolate bunny and cherished the togetherness of Christmas, sharing meals and celebrating with those he held dear.
As a proud member of the Local #177 Sheetmetal Workers Union, Chance found solidarity and lasting friendships among his fellow union members. His honest and loyal nature endeared him to all who knew him, and his humble spirit was a guiding light in our lives.
He was a loving son with a huge heart for his Savior, his family, and his friends. Chance's kindness, loyalty, and creativity left an indelible mark on our hearts.
As we say goodbye, we hold onto the warmth of his smile, the sound of his guitar, and the love he shared so generously. Though he may no longer be with us, his spirit lives on in the music he loved and the memories we carry with us.
Until we meet again, Chance, you will always be in our hearts.
Those who have passed on before him are sister, Allison Kathleen McGinness, grandparents, Maxie and Dorothy Birdwell and Acy and Frances McGinness.
Those left behind to cherish his memory are parents Pat and Kathy McGinness, sisters, Dawn (Kevin) Broadway and Katie (Joey) Torrence, and nieces and nephews, and his faithful spirit animal, Fleas, the cat.
