March 20, 1947 - December 7, 2018

John (Skip) R. McChesney, age 71 of Roselawn, IN., formerly of Tennessee, passed away Friday, December 7, 2018. He was the son of John A. And Betty L. (Baker) McChesney. Skip was employed as a maintenance supervisor for Ross Manufacturing, from which he retired. In his spare time he enjoyed working with his hands and could build just about anything. Skip was a veteran of the U.S. Air Force. He was proud of his country and always displayed an American flag outside his front door. Skip loved the outdoors, watching basketball and football, but his biggest love was for his family. He had said the best job he ever had was being Pop-O to his granddaughters. If you had stopped in for a visit, Skip, typically clad in a flannel shirt and Levis and never without a cup of coffee or a coca cola in his hand, would have told you to pull up a chair. He truly enjoyed his time visiting with those he loved. Skip is survived by his son, John A. McChesney of Tennessee . Granddaughters: Kiley; Adriana; and Lillian of Tennessee. Brothers: Allan (Mary) McChesney of Indiana and Roger McChesney of California . Nieces: Michele(Dean)Pinkham; Neile (Tom)Trainor and Ann Allen, all of Indiana. Nephews: Richard (Liz) McChesney of Oklahoma and Erin McChesney of California. He is also survived by many great nieces and nephews. Per family wishes, Jackson Funeral Service has been entrusted with arrangements for cremation. A graveside memorial will be held at a later date.
