Chan’s wife Alyssa Patterson wanted to keep his memory alive and started the Dude 21 Foundation.

Dude 21 was even brewed into its own beer, at a local Georgia brewery.
“If you want to be happy, you have to invest in people. We get so caught up chasing money and materialistic and tangible objects, that really do nothing for us. When you die, what are people going to say about you? Are they gonna say, “Man, that guy drove an awesome truck,” or, “Man, that guy had nice clothes”? When you’re gone, people don’t remember those things, people don’t care about that. People care about who you are and your heart. If you invest in people, you will always be rich. If you have a full heart, you’ll be rich. And you can never have that if you don’t pour into other people.”
– Chandler Patterson
"House in Heaven" is a beautiful expression of how music can provide comfort and healing in difficult times. It's a reminder that our loved ones are always with us, even when they're no longer physically present.
The lyrics are full of raw emotion, and it's clear that Gipson is still struggling to come to terms with his friend's death. But through the song, he's able to honor Chan's memory and keep him close to his heart. The song is a moving tribute to those who have lost someone they love. It captures the pain of loss while also celebrating the happy memories shared between friends.
