Jeffrey "Chase" Kunze

Jeffrey "Chase" Kunze was born December 16, 1984 and departed from this life on October 23, 2022.  Chase spent his K thru 12 education at the Dale School District graduating in 2003.  During those years he was a member of FFA.  He had shown cattle and had won numerous awards including Grand Champion a number of times.  He was a member of the baseball team and earned two state championships.

After graduating in 2003, he entered Seminole State and graduated in 2007 at which time he enrolled at OSU graduating 2009 and earning his B.A. in marketing and finance.

He then went to work at Wolverine in management.  He developed serious health issues and decided to stay home.  He did return to work at O'Rileys and was there for five years.  Again, health issues necessitated him to leave the position.  His fellow workers said whenever they couldn't find something, they would go to Chase.  They were all in agreement he could make that computer "sing".  As expected his manager would be top seller each month until Chase was hired.  Chase earned that title numerous months and was proud of it.

Chase is survived by his daughter, Laurin; father, Joe Kunze; mother, Marcia Austin and younger brother, Cash Kunze of New York City.  He had many cousins, aunts and uncles.

Graveside service will be November 10, 2022, 2:00 p.m. at Calvary Cemetery, Shawnee, OK.
