MIDWEST CITY, Okla. — Relatives and friends bid farewell Thursday to an Oklahoma City soldier who was remembered for his courage and dedication to family.
Mourners filled Meadowood Baptist Church for the funeral of Staff Sgt. Lance Michael Chase, 32.
Chase died Jan. 23 after a mine exploded near his tank while on patrol in Baghdad.
Music chosen by his relatives highlighted Chase’s funeral, from Tim McGraw’s “Live Like You Were Dying,” a song about living life to the fullest, to Tommy Shane Steiner’s “What If She Is An Angel,” a Chase used to sing to his son Trevor, 9. He also had an 11-year-old son, Brett.
Those songs were among nine selected for a ceremony that included a uniformed contingent from the military and the Oklahoma County Sheriff’s Department. Chase’s father, Mike, has been a reserve deputy for more than 20 years.

We Thought of you with love today But that is nothing new
We thought about you yesterday
And days before that too
We think of you in silence We often speak your name
Now all we have are memories And your pictures in a frame
Your memory is our keepsake For which we'll never part
God has you in His keeping We have you in our heart
May God Bless you and your loved ones for what you have done for your country
