Chandler was raised with Funeral Service being a way of life seeing the day to day operations conducted by his father. From a very young age, he fully understood the respect and privacy that was involved in caring for those entrusted to their family Funeral Homes. At 6 years of age a friend came for a play date and Chandler immediately asked him if he would like a tour of the Funeral Home, of course he was interested but even more curious was his friends father who had brought him over and he decided to accompany the two. The friends father later shared how Chandler led the tour explaining the use of each room within the building, he explained caskets and urn and their purpose, as they approached a closed door Chandler pointed to the door and said, "this is where people are prepared for viewing and burial but this is a room that we cannot go into" the friends father was surprised at Chandlers real understanding and respect for the work that his father performed. Chandler graduated from Davis School for Independent Study in Davis, California where he received scholarships for his incredible artistic abilities. He worked as a waiter at Cafe Bernardo, and later moved to Los Angeles, California where he worked in Construction. During the beginning months of the Covid-19 pandemic he found himself without work and his father extended an offer to come to Salt Lake City to help with the renovations that had just begun at Neil O'Donnell Funeral Home, it was during this time that he told his father that he felt strongly that he would like to become a Funeral Director, understanding the commitment involved in the profession his father suggested that he think about it for a few weeks and really weigh the opportunity before making a determination, he returned after two weeks knowing that Funeral Service is the profession that felt right for him. Chandler is currently enrolled at the Dallas Institute of Funeral Service and works full time as a Funeral Service Intern alongside his father at Neil O'Donnell Funeral Home. He completed his training and became a Certified Cremation Specialist and is currently slated to graduate from the Dallas Institute of Funeral Service in June 2023. Chandler has always had an incredible ability with art, drawing, ceramics and creating a multitude of artistic projects. He has a passion for music and when he began learning to play drums his teacher was astounded at his immediate ability to understand syncopation. He loves to skateboard, camp, rock climb and anything that allows him to be outdoors. He is extremely close with his sister and two brothers and loves caring for his two cats. Chandler is beginning a journey that will enrich his life as he shares his compassionate heart with those he has the opportunity to serve.
