I love you and I'm missing you like crazy. Still feels unreal. I'll never understand why you had to go so early or why you had to go in pain. But I know Jehovah has his agenda for us all. Everything has its season and reason. My faith let's me know it wasn't in vain. Love you boy and enjoy the negativity free atmosphere up there.

Chad,
Your face, your smile, your wit, your style is one in a million. You will always be unforgetable. Words can not express the tears, pain, and grief I have in my heart. I've always admired the drive you had in you to strive to be the best. Your charisma would lite up the room where ever you were. You never failed at anything you set out to achieve. You were talented, hard working, and motivated. You were a hero in my eyes.
Rest in peace Chad Haskin "Dash" Davis.
I will always love you,
Auntie Miriam

Chad,
It's a hurtful feeling to witness such a loving and wonderful family that I have known for so long deal with such a hurting feeling, Losing You. I pray every day that God help them all to get through this. All I can do is remember those days when I was by Meshawn and she had to watch you and your brothers while Mama Jerry and crew head out in the town, OMG a handful!! It's so said that a young man with so much potential and drive to make a better future for him and his family had to leave earth so soon but it was your time to go and we all know that you are in a better place. Believe me everyone is keeping your memory alive and your dreams will come true through the people that loved you so much!!!!

I just have one question why was lime green your favorite color?? Oh how I wish you could tell me!!

Love you much!!

Chad,
I had to wait a while to say good-bye to you because it is still so hard. You were a great young man. You were a good example to others older and younger than your 18 years. You had accomplished so much with so much more in your head still to do. We were/are so proud of you. That smile will never be forgotten. You touched so many lives in ways you don't even realize by just being you. We are hurting now. As time goes on the hurt will subside and the memories will live on forever. Everyone will remember the young man with the big smile. Your legacy will live on. We love & miss you! God has opened his gates for a wonderful soul!

Chad "Dash" as we called you. I can't express how much two weeks of your life touched our lives. Thanksgiving vacation and Spring Break vacation we woke up to your smiling face and your lovable accent. You left Benton Harbor, Michigan with some everlasting memories and you left the Thomas-Varrie and Kyle family with a lifetime of "PRICELESS MEMORIES" You watched over my son Antonio Kyle at Hinds and I know that you will forever watch over him in Heaven. I want to thank Dash's parents and God parents for allowing my family to spend precious time with Dash you will forever be apart of my daily prayers. We were taught not to question God but I find myself asking WHY WHY WHY?
