Chad was an amazing friend to us. We will always remember him for his kind and giving heart, his fierce love for his family and his brilliant smile and humor. He was a true Brother-In-Christ and he will be sorely missed. His servant's heart touched so many lives.

We love you, Ms. Pat and you are in our prayers. The Lord Jesus will carry you through this time.
