Will W. Chandler age 78, of Texarkana, Arkansas, died on Tuesday, November 2, 2021, in a local hospital surrounded by his family.
Mr. Chandler was born October 2, 1943, in Charleston, Missouri and lived in Texarkana most of his life. He was owner and operator of Chandler Construction from 1973 to 2014 and a former co-owner of Thatcher Concrete.
