In Memoriam

Robert “Bob" Edward Nolan, 47, of Hixson, Tennessee, died on Wednesday, March 2, 2016.

Bob was a longtime employee at WTVC NewsChannel 9 and most recently worked at EPB. He was married to WTVC evening anchor Kim Chapman for many years. He was a member of Brainerd Lodge No 736, F & AM; Divan member at Alhambra Shrine and board member of The Miracle League of Chattanooga as well as many other charitable organizations. He was a champion to so many people, we find ourselves wondering if he knew of the many ways he enriched our lives.

He is survived by his wife, Kimberly Chapman Nolan, father, Dr. Robert Francis Nolan, Donald Nolan, wife Pepita and their children, Delaney, Nicholas and Joseph, James ("Jimmy") Nolan, wife Leslie, and nephew Tyler Chapman.

Bob was preceded in death by his mother, Maribeth Nolan.
