Dear Peery Family, I am a stranger who just happened to see Chads story on facebook, I immediately researched Chads Story . There is a saying that talks about how people are always watching to see how we as Christians handle tragedy, from what I have seen and read Chad was a light of hope to others and truly a gallant man. Sometimes there are no words when bad things happen to good people, but no this, Chads life was an inspiration. May God wrap his arms of peace around your entire family.

My daughter and I had the honor of meeting Officer Peery and his lovely parents and siblings April 4th as he received an heroic award at the Friendship Interfaith Diaglogue Banquet. It struck my family what a kind, friendly, courageous and humble fellow he was. My 16 yr. old is Miss Teen Oklahoma United States, and she was thrilled to be photographed with him that evening. His bright smile is still on her cell phone. We were so shocked when we heard of his accident last night, and though I only met him briefly, there was something so special about this man. When I heard the news today of his passing, I wept and wept, as if I had lost a close friend. I dreaded telling my daughter when she came home from school today. I pray he is now in the arms of the angels, and walking on those golden streets of heaven. We will be focusing now on praying for the physical and emotional healing of his young children. As a parent myself, I can't begin to imagine the pain his poor parents must be going through. My heart breaks for them and my prayers go out to them.
