Chip was born on September 8, 1958, to Sybil and Colin Stewart. He grew up in Crawfordville as the youngest of four-two sisters and a brother. Chip attended Nathanael Greene Academy. After high school, Chip attended Reinhardt College for two years before transferring to the University of Georgia where he graduated with a degree in pharmacy. Chip met his wife, Lori at pharmacy school at UGA. They married after college and have made Milledgeville their home for the past 35 years. Chip worked as a pharmacist for almost 40 years. Chip always has had a love for animals and the outdoors. He's had cows in the past and more hunting dogs than anyone could keep up with. He enjoyed hunting, but his true passion was training and working with his dogs when he was not spending time with his children and grandchildren.

An official certificate recognizing your purchase will be included with your email receipt. You can then forward the email to the family or print it and give it to them personally.
