Michael Douglas Chase

October 7, 1959 - August 18, 2018

Mr. Michael Douglas Chase was born on October 7, 1959 to Mr. Carl Lee Chase and Mrs. James Etta Chase in Austin, Texas. As a child Michael attended Blackshear Elementary, Murchison Jr High and then on to L.C. Anderson High School. During his teenage years he served as a bus boy and waiter at Sid’s Restaurant. Michael confessed his love for Christ at a young age and became a member of the “old” Greater Mt. Zion Baptist Church under the late Pastor Norman Bacon, Jr. along with his parents and other siblings. Michael was a great singer but would only sing if his brother Earnest would play for him. Michael was a very handsome and a snazzy dresser. He loved karate and often thought he was Bruce Lee. He had an overwhelming love for old cars. The one he owned he would spend countless hours washing and shining them up. My best friend and our brother was the world’s greatest sidekick that anyone could have, yet I will let Mrs. Helen Freeman Taylor tell you all about his and her love for My Mini Bike. Michael entered into eternal rest on Saturday, August 18, 2018. Michael is preceded in death by his father, Carl Lee Chase and his brother James Earl Chase. He leaves to cherish and celebrate his life; his children, Kisha Alexander of Austin, TX; Chanel Handcock Barnett of Kyle, TX; Lamecia Nicole Parrimore Dunmore and Michael Christopher Douglas Dunmore of Houston, TX; his mother James Etta Walker; his siblings, John Miller, Jerry Chase, Charlene M. Tolbert of Dallas, TX; James E. Miller, Andrea Reese, Josephine E. Chase; Yonis M. Holiday, Karen A. Holiday, Patrick Holiday and Jaqueline Chase all of Austin, TX; last but not least his twin they say Earnest L. Chase of Kyle, TX.
