Chance Lamarr Rough Surface was born June 30, 1984 to Robin Rough Surface and Mary Carol Afraid Of Hawk in Fort Yates, ND. He attended school in Fort Yates, Chamberlain, and went on to Box Elder Job Corps. He was a "Jack Of All Trades", working as maintenance, helping with pipeline, and helped build a school and construction in Rapid City. He enjoyed fishing, working on cars with his dad, and talking on the phone with his little girl Alexis. When Chance was younger he danced traditional. The infamous question he always had for his dad was "Why do I have one mud flap, everyone else has two?" Chance always made people laugh, he wanted to be around people and to be involved. He was very well liked and loved by everyone he met. Chance will be missed by all.
