Olathe, a Hiawatha native, KS

Chazz Robert Exon, 29, of Olathe, KS, died unexpectedly Monday, February 21, 2022 at his home.

Chazz was born October 30, 1992 in Hiawatha, Kansas, the oldest of four children born to Cliff and Stacy Overfield Mackey.  Chazz graduated with the class of 2011 from Hiawatha High School and attended K-State University prior to moving in 2014 to Olathe to being a career with O’Reilly Auto Parts, leading up to his current position as territory sales manager where he had received numerous sales awards.

Chazz was blessed with a loving big family and an endless list of friends and associates.  He was preceded in death by his grandfather Jim Garrett, grandmothers Josephine Beckner, Betty Satterfield, infant cousin Paige Bostic, great-grandfather Robert Exon Sr. and grandfather George Mackey.

Survivors include his parents Cliff and Stacy Mackey of Hiawatha, brothers:  Nicholas of Olathe, and Sidney Mackey of Hiawatha, sisters:  Breanna Mackey of Kansas City, and Courtney Joslin of Falls City, NE, two nieces Gabby and Reyna Mackey of Hiawatha; grandmothers: Linda Garrett of Hiawatha, Sheri Mackey of Wyoming, grandfather Dr. Robert and Karen Exon of Council Grove, KS, great-grandmother Onalee Exon of Topeka.

Growing up with his Aunt Renee Garrett Bostic, and Uncles Jeff Luoma and James Garrett, III, three aunts:  Heidi Mackey, Kathy Waters, and Christine Goldsberry with numerous other aunts and uncles.

Chazz has an enormous list of cousins most of which he considered siblings due to their bonds he shared with them.  Being a friend of Chazz’s was considered an honor because having that meant you were bonded for life and he would walk through fire for you.  He touched the heart of so many people and accomplished so much in just the short 29 years we were blessed to have him and his legacy will carry on forever.
