To Mr. And Mrs. Ellestad, Todd, Darin and Tara, I will always remember Chad with great enthusiasm.
I remember riding our bikes through the streets of Aberdeen morning to night, swimming at Southside pool, hanging out at Melgaard Park and count

We went to school together from '82-'89. He was always a popular guy who was known to bring a boyish charm, and humor into just about everything he did. I never met anyone who didn't like him.
When I think back to those days, I can't help but remember him and the perpetual grin he always had.
I hope he had a good life, and was happy.

Chad was a good guy and so funny in school always made everybody laugh and I remember selling him my Yellow Plymouth satellite back in 1987. He absolutely loved that car just like I did. He cracked me up all the time. God Speed my Friend.
