Chad Golson Obituary

A loving father, husband, son and brother, Chad Thomas Golson died Monday, July 19, 2010, at Baton Rouge General Medical Center. A resident of Central, Chad was born Oct. 6, 1971, to Thomas Eugene and Judith Anne Vince Golson. Visitation at Greenoaks Funeral Home on Thursday, July 22, from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. and Friday from 8 a.m. until service at 10 a.m. Interment in Greenoaks Memorial Park. Survived by his wife, Haley Hoffman Golson; daughter, Karmyn Elise Golson, who will always be her daddy's "Pumpkin;" stepson, Maddox Stanford; and brother and best friend, Thomas Eugene "Gene" Golson. He is also survived by his parents, Thomas "Tommy" and Judith "Judi;" along with numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. Chad was preceded in death by his grandparents, Wilbur T. and Mary Golson and Oscar and Gloria B. Vince; aunts, Teresa Vince McKelvy and Virginia Jackson Vince; and uncle, Billy Joe Moms. Chad was as kind and giving as a person could be. Always so soft spoken and gentle, he loved and cared for his family to the fullest and was always a "daddy" to his children. Life will never be the same, but Chad will always be in the hearts of everyone he touched.

Chad was such a great man. He loved his family and his daughter was no. 1 in his life. I will treasure all the memories that we had growing up. His life was shorter then what we would like but he lived his life to the fullest.
Uncle Tommy and Aunt Judy I love you both and my heart aches for the pain you are going through. Just hold the love close that you had with Chad for his 38 years. Treasure all the precious moments that you shared.
Gene, I don't know if any two brothers could be any closer. You had something special that not many brothers had. You had an amazing brother and best friend.
Haley and Maddox, you added a lot of love and excitement into Chads life.
Kamryn, You are so very lucky to have a dad who devoted his life to your happiness. Our part in your life will be to do our absolute best to love you like he did. We will all be here for you.

Chad was one of the kindest people I've ever known. Chad and I worked together at BMW for quite a while and stayed friends afterwards. He always smiled, and was willing to help anyone. The world has lost a great hearted person & he will be deeply missed by everyone who knew him.

Judy and Tommy - Michael and I are so very sorry to hear about Chad. Todd called us heartbroken to tell us. Chad was so special to Todd for those years we had the racetrack and beyond. It's hard to put into words how much he meant to Michael and me during those times we were all so close. We are very sorry but know that he was a good man with a big heart. Keep your faith and keep your friends near. God bless you, Gene, his new wife and little Kamryn.
