James Calvin “Jamie” Chance

February 18, 2022

James Calvin “Jamie” Chance, 61, of Molino, Florida passed away on February 17, 2022 after his battle with cancer.

Jamie was born on August 26, 1960 to Betty Lue Anderson and Raymond Chance at Baptist Hospital in Pensacola, Florida.

Jamie was such a hardworking man. He worked for the bag plant in Cantonment, Florida for 31 years. He made so many friends through that time, which wasn’t hard for him to do. He never really met a stranger. Everyone who met this man grew to love him and his big bright personality. If he wasn’t offering you a beer he was offering a hug, or a mean left hook if you got out of line.

Jamie enjoyed watching sunrises and sunsets and he loved to cook and make “concoctions.” He really enjoyed working in his flower garden and making the most beautiful flower arrangements you have ever seen. Above all, his children were his entire heart and he let it be known!

Jamie was preceded in death by his father, Raymond Chance; brother, Johnny Ray Chance; nephew, lil Tony Mandel Junior; and stepfather, RT Anderson.
Jamie is survived by his mother, Betty Lou Anderson; his son, Coty Chance; his daughter, Tiffany Enfinger; his sisters, Sandra Davis, Susan Mandel and Brandy Chance; his brother, Ray Chance; his nephews, Dustin Hern, John Chance and Randy Thomas; his niece, Sommer; and so many friends that have been like family.

Funeral services will be held on Monday, February 21, 2022 at Faith Chapel Funeral Home North with Don Neese officiating. Interment will be held in Lathram Chapel Cemetery, Cantonment, Florida.

The family will receive friends at 1:00 p.m. prior to services.

    Ms Betty & Mr Raymond birth’d Jamie 2 R 3 months before my birth. I played with Ray Jamie and Johnny Ray when we were all pre teens; last seeing them when we were all around 16 I think. The memories are vast of our recreation and life in area. Especially the River in hot summers & working in the field crop’s at time’s, dirt bikes, ETC, and our other male playmate’s scattered throughout area. Their dad “Raymond” was friend with my dad & uncle’s at Tate. And my Aunt Judy & cousins lived next to them. I’m 61 today & left area at 16 to be a High Voltage Power Lineman all my career. Retired back in area now I’ll be glad to reunite with them after finishing with this flesh any day now. As typing I think Ray’s still alive. He’s 2 year’s my senior I think? The Chance Family were and are among the best blessings this life had/has to offer me. Ms Betty & Mr Raymond falling in love in their youth; Blessed us all immeasurable.
