David Scott Chance, 63, of Statesville, N.C., went to be with his Lord and Savior on Tuesday, March 28, 2023.

David was born in Chicago, Ill., on October 17, 1959, to the late Walter and Shirley Chance. He graduated from Myers Park High School and attended UNC Charlotte. After owning his own construction company for many years, later in life he was the owner/operator of Chance Transport.

On February 11, 1993, David married the love of his life, Lynn, and they recently celebrated 30 years of marriage. David was happiest when spending time with his family, grilling and smoking meats, fishing, and watching his grandkids play sports. He was a faithful servant of our Lord Jesus and loved helping others.

Along with his parents, David was preceded in death by his brother, John Chance.
