Obituary

With deep sadness, we announce the sudden passing of Chip, who was born on March 8th, 1967 and entered the gates of heaven on April 15th, 2026 in Port St. Lucie, Florida.

Our hearts are shattered as the departure left an irreplaceable void in the lives of all who knew and loved him. 

Chip's life was deeply rooted in his love for Jesus Christ. He was a devoted follower who found immense joy in sharing the gospel with everyone he encountered. His mission was to ensure that those around him knew the hope and salvation found in Jesus Christ. Chip's faith guided every aspect of his life, shaping him into a man of integrity, sacrificial love, and servant leadership. He modeled Christ-like character not only for his family but also for all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Chip cherished his family above all else. He is survived by the love of his life, Jacqueline; their three children: Noah, Asher, and Trinity; his mother, Judy Underwood; siblings Vickie Trace and Lance Korsun; and sister-in-law Ivette Feliz as well as other family members. He was predeceased by his father, Charles Harry Kaegi. Chip's love for his family was boundless—he consistently placed their needs above his own and created a home filled with warmth and laughter.

An adventurer at heart, Chip embraced life with enthusiasm and curiosity. He enjoyed cooking delicious meals for loved ones, tending to his garden with care, boating, swimming under the sunlit skies of Florida, and exploring outdoor activities such as jet-skiing and scuba diving. A gun enthusiast and snowboarding aficionado as well, Chip found joy in both thrilling pursuits and quiet moments of reflection.

As a gifted artist, Chip was renowned for his exceptional talent in creating stunning wall murals, television commercial backdrops, and intricate airbrush work. His artistry left an indelible mark on many projects, including the film *2 Fast 2 Furious*, showcasing his creative brilliance and passion for his craft by airbrushing all the cars.

Those who knew Chip remember him as unselfish, kind-hearted, gentle yet strong in spirit—a man who brought humor and sensitivity to every interaction. His immense heart for others shined brightly through acts of service that touched countless lives. Whether through a kind word or selfless gesture, Chip left an enduring legacy of love and compassion.

Chip’s impact extended far beyond his immediate circle; he inspired everyone he met to seek hope and purpose through faith. He opened their home to bible studies and fellowship. His memory will continue to be a source of comfort and inspiration to those who were blessed to meet and know him.

May Chip Kaegi’s life serve as a testament to the power of faith in Jesus Christ, love for family, and the beauty of living fully. He will be dearly missed but forever remembered in the hearts of those he touched.

To my first and only love of my life.... You are a gift from God and because of you I am a better person. I was so blessed to be your Wife and the Mother of your children for the last 22 plus years. I don't even know how I deserved someone so kind, compassionate, loving, patient, funny and dedicated to me. You treated me like a queen everyday, all day - no matter what and that is true agape love that only comes from a loving, faithful God. My Father above was so good to create you for me and to give you a heart to love me well. I know God is love when I see you and the way you love me. If only I had more time with you. If only I could tell you I love you one more time. I am shocked that the Lord took you away from me. I have to grieve you and the life we thought we were going to have. I still have to pinch myself because I think it's a bad dream. I'm so heartbroken and my pain runs deep. I miss everything about you - sharing my day with you, laughing with you and spending time in our garden. I will continue to honor you and bless you all the days of my life. My love for you will never fail or end. Even though I don't understand and I will never understand why you're not by my side, I know the Lord is still good to me and I will forever trust HIM. Until I meet you again Honey, your Love Bug!
