We met Chad through friendship with his parents Amara and Bill. We immediately fell in love with his beautiful smile, infectious laugh and wonderful personality. We only knew him a few years but enjoyed every minute spent with him. We think of him often with fond memories.

Chad popped into my mind today for some reason. A classmate at The Christian Academy, Chad was a fun kid, so laid back and easy to talk to. I found some old pictures of him and smiled. For his family--he is not forgotten. Thank you for sending him to TCA so we could be friends.

Chad had a smile that lit the room, and loved to laugh. Although we only knew him a few years we loved him. He was a special person and is missed dearly.
