Darlene and Lori,
What a shock to hear of Chad's passing! As a teacher of Chad at the little school on Palomar Mountain I well remember what a nice and quiet boy he was - very bashful too! I think of you folks often and of the special and fond memories of the mountain we shared. I feel your great sorrow at this time and will always cherish my special thoughts of you and of Chad!

I would like to give my heart felt sympathy to Chad's family, I am so glad Connie and I were able to go and see Chad,Meisha and the Kids in 2005. He was very happy and excited about his new, fantastic house.Chad and I had alot of fun in the desert riding toys and exploring. Work was very interesting, we got away with alot, because we worked hard and produced results. Chad was very good on heavy equipment, he could run anything,and had no fear. I am so sorry we will miss his memorial. Chad was a very good friend for 25years and I will have many good memories to remember. R.I.P. my friend. Sonney

Darlene and Lori,
I just wanted to add my thoughts here. I also remember meeting Chad at Grandma and Grandpa Logan's and what a strong, bouncing baby boy he was. Many years had gone by and I had moved and probably missed lots of family times in Ramona. But, I also remember meeting Tucker at Grandma's and Grandpa's when he was just barely walking and we had a good visit with Chad, the proud new dad.
I just want to say again that you are in my thoughts and prayers. We will miss the service on the 17th, but will certainly be thinking of you all.
With much love,
Priscilla Logan Queen

I remember the first time I saw you Chad. Christmas time over and Grandma and Grandpa Logan's front yard. I expected Lori but you were new. I guess about 18 months to 2 years old. You were so cool. Growing up you had a lot of your Mother and Father in you. The very best parts. Their gentleness, kindness, caring heart, and true concern for others to name just a few. I know you are with God now and in such a better place. We will still miss you though!

Darlene and Lori, I know the loss you feel now. In time it will fade but the memories and love will always remain and we will be with him again when its time. Though I will not be there Friday know my heart and prayers are with you then, now, and always. I love you my dearest of family!
