Luther “Chap” Herbert McMullen III, 61, of Canton, Mississippi, passed away on March 3, 2026, surrounded by loved ones after a hard-fought battle with cancer. Chap was born on February 23, 1965, to Herbert and Billie Jean McMullen. After graduating from Canton Academy in 1983, he became an accomplished commercial Class A operator and later owned a successful construction business. His family meant more to him than anything else in the world. He was a gifted individual—resourceful, intelligent, athletic, and determined.
