“C.W.” Chandler, Jr

C.W. was born in Nocona, TX on October 17, 1936 to Zetta and Clarence Chandler, SR. He passed away on Saturday, May 20, 2023 at the age of 86.

He is preceded in death by both his parents, Clarence and Zetta, and his sister Coletta Chandler Allison.

C.W. was born and raised in Nocona, TX. He graduated from Nocona High School in 1954.
After high school he attended and graduated from the University of Texas in Austin and then served four years in the US Air Force. In 1960 C.W. returned to the University of Texas and earned his law degree. When his father passed away unexpectedly in 1964, C.W. moved his law practice from Wichita Falls to Bowie, Tx so he could help manage the day to day operations of the family ranch located in Ringgold, TX. C.W. also served as Montague County Judge from 1970-1978.

Respecting his wishes, rather than a graveside service, his family will gather at his ranch for a time of remembrance and celebration of his life. Memorials may be made to the Lane Fenoglio Memorial Scholarship Fund (375 Fite Road, Ringgold TX, 76261), or Hospice of Wichita Falls (4909 Johnson Rd, Wichita Falls, TX 76310).
