Pam and Theland,
How very sorry we were to hear the sad news about Chase. What great times we had on the Braves and Stampede. I remember "Put me in Coach" playing each time he was at the plate. What a great ballplayer. Our thoughts are with you.

Theland and Pam,
Words cannot express how sorry we were to hear of Chase's passing. Memories of him playing baseball at the Roswell Rec, Will's Park are etched in our minds. He was an amazing athlete with a wonderful spirit. Our prayers are with you.

Shocking to read about Chase as we were checking on a friend who is listed
in the Daily Home obituary. Chase was such an enjoyable child when he lived next door to us in Vestavia. Knew he would grow up to be an Alabama fan because for Christmas he gave us his picture wearing a football helmet and his Alabama shirt...Hopefully Pam and Thelan will see this message and will know the slide pictures of Chase were special to see and how sad it makes us feel to learn they have lost Chase. God Bless!

Dear Pam & Tom,
I believe that there is no pain more devastating and far reaching than losing your loving son. I cannot express my feelings and sadness at such a loss. You both are in our thoughts and prayers.

Take care!

So sorry and shocked to hear about Chase. He was such a good friend of my son Evan and we will always remember him coming to visit us at our home. Always had a big smile. Loved watching him play baseball. Again Nancy and I send our condolences from Georgia.

Theland,

Nothing I can say will express how Gina and I feel for you and your family in dealing with the loss of Chase. We have such great memories of Chase as a baseball player and just a great kid. We loved being around Chase while he lived in GA. Taylor and Chase were great friends so we had many opportunities to have Chase at our house, he was such a pleasure. God has a special place for great young men like Chase. You and your family are are in our prayers.
