George Vandell

Chappell, III

George “Vandell” Chappell III was born in Boston Massachusetts to Yvette Michelle Chappell and the late George Vandell Chappell Jr. He earned his High School Equivalency diploma in 2006 and soon after went into food catering operations with companies such as MIT, Bank of America and TD Garden. Not to mention he had a stint working at Mass General Hospital.

Vandell was a jack of all trades, he considered himself top chef, grill master and was known for spontaneously throwing food on the grill and having family and friends over to enjoy. If you knew Vandell, you know he enjoyed some of the finer things in life such as fine dining, smelling good and throwing on a nice pair of sunglasses. Out of all the roles he embraced throughout his life, none brought him greater joy or purpose than being a father. From the moment his son Geo entered the world, he embraced fatherhood with love, pride and responsibility. Geo was his greatest blessing! For 17 years he had the privilege of being his father and although that came with moments of joy, laughter, lessons and challenges, one thing remained constant and that was his unconditional love for his son.
