US NAVY VETERANThe family of Ms. Ariel Chace, a US Navy Veteran, requests the presence and participation of the San Antonio Patriot Guard at the graveside rendering of military honors of their loved one. We are honored to accept this invitation.
Ariel “Sunshine Ari” Chace was born on June 21, 1990, in Landstuhl, Germany, on the longest day of the year. Her bright beginning inspired the nickname “Sunshine Ari.” She passed away on October 12, 2026.
Growing up in an Army family, Ari moved around before her family eventually settled in Copperas Cove, Texas. She graduated from Copperas Cove High School in 2008, where she earned letters in track and volleyball.
In August 2009, Ari joined the United States Navy. She served for six years, until August 2015, including service aboard the guided-missile destroyer USS Momsen.
Ari later made her home in Virginia Beach, Virginia, where she was raising her two beloved sons, Oliver, 12, and Theodore, 9. She was a true free spirit whose smile and infectious laugh brightened the lives of those around her. She loved writing poetry, reading, music, and dancing. Ari was a loyal friend and daughter, and a devoted mother who deeply cherished her true friends.
Ari will be lovingly remembered and truly missed. Fair winds and following seas. The sea may carry memory beyond the farthest view, but every tide returns a trace of all we loved in you.
