The parents of a young father who was killed by an alleged drunk driver remember him as a loving father and hard working man.
Chase Chapman, 31, died on his way to work at a Chick-fil-A restaurant on Howell Mill Road where he served as the assistant general manager.
Police say Chapman was hit by a drunk driver.
"He was an awesome guy, great father and a good son," said Chapman's father, Carl.

Channel 2's Nefertiti Jaquez learned from Chapman's parents that the driver did not have a license at the time of the accident.
"I knew something was wrong right then. They said, 'I'm sorry, I have to inform you that your son was killed in an accident,'" Carl Chapman said.
Chapman was living with his parents after his recent divorce. The family has created a GoFundMe campaign to raise money for a trust fund for his son, Wesley.
