Chet Anthony Lockamy, aka Freebird, was born on August 14, 1961, to Anne Parthena and Chet Lockamy. He peacefully left us to truly be a free bird on July 23, 2023, in the early morning hours.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Anne and Chet; two sisters, Moya King and Nancy McEntire; and two brothers, Danny Lockwood and Eddie Lockamy.
He is survived by his brother, George (Brenda) Lockwood; nephews, Jason (Kerri) Wetzel and Richard (Peggy) Baker; nieces, Shelly Bauer, Christy (Rusty) Smith, and Rachel (Mack) Hughes; sister-in-law, June (Eddie) Lockamy; as well as many great nieces and nephews, cousins, and so on.
The only way to truly describe Anthony is by saying he was truly one of a kind. He was a lover. He would rather go without things himself, than see someone he loved need something – even if it were to put him in a situation. Anthony definitely knew how to have fun and light up a gloomy room. The hole he leaves in our hearts will never be filled. Knowing that he is fulfilled, whole, and with our maker makes the loss a little bit easier.
“If I leave here tomorrow.
Would you still remember me?
For I must be traveling on now
Cause there’s too many places I’ve got to see.” – Lynyrd Skynyrd
Anthony will be remembered for many years to come for the great laughs and enormous amount of love
he gave throughout his lifetime and I am excited to hear the stories of all the sights he has seen once we get to heaven and meet again.
Our Sincere Condolences
He was a truly great man and he will be missed.
