Not sure what to say?

Rest in Peace Chad,
When Chad would come into the shop for motorcycle inspections he would always have a motorcycle magazine with him while he waited - just laid back and relaxed , reading them, chilling out on a warm summer afternoon and joking with the techs.
That’s how I will remember Chad

Chad n I were friends in high school! Good times!! ;)
Years later, he bought the house next to my grandparents! What a surprise!!
Years after that, he came up to me at the Saengerbund! Another surprise!
...and until we see each other AGAIN, I'll think of Chad fondly.
Sorry for your loss....

I will always remember the nights at WCM when you would come in and brighten the room with your smile. My condolences to the family, friends and anybody that had the honor of knowing Chad.

Chad you were a great friend of mine always treated me with respect and kindness never will forget building my AR15 with you great memory Condolences to Alec and Vicki❤

So sorry for your loss. I remember Chad, in high school, as a very caring person.

I am so sorry to hear this... I worked with Chad when he first came to work at Whitetail. My condolences to his family

Your time here was to short we’ll meet again in a better place!

My heart was broken when I was told. Chad kulp was sent to heaven to stand by his father. I had the privilege of meeting him when he came to Gomez 's with his dad Ron.
My Prayers are with his family at this time.

Chad is going to be missed, I was fortunate to have know him and call him a friend! Chad had such a great community of friends, co workers. That if it wasn’t for him there path might never have crossed. Chad was very unique personality it’s something you don’t find often! He made me a better person always correcting my speech scolding me for talking with a mouth full of food! But he also help me with business advice always setting me in the right direction! My condolences to Alec and Vickie...
