Read MoreI just want to say thank you for being such a good friend to my son Logan. You sat with us for 5 hours during his surgery and that means more than anything. I'm so sad to hear this, as I know you were a good man. I am praying for all of your family and friends. Rest in Heaven. Love, Debbie McKee

So sorry to learn of Chad’s passing. I will always remember Chad as a great smallmouth YAK fisherman on both Elkhorn Creek and the Green River. He was always a great ambassador for Canoe Kentucky and he provided shuttle service and smallmouth advice to me for many years. A great man that departed too soon but had a big impact on me. I will think about him every time I float the Elkhorn. Chad was simply the best!!
Rest in peace my friend and my deepest condolences to the Harp Family.

Chad was a great person and a wonderful friend! I am truly sorry for your loss. I lost my son 19 years ago. You never get over it! You learn how to live with it. My prayers are with you.

Ann, DeAnn and Susan, I don’t know if you remember me or not. I was married to Randy Jackson whom Bob and Chad would come and hunt with every year. I loved Chad so much! I have so many great memories and I had just thought not too long ago that he and I were long overdue for a visit and a walk down memory lane! We had lost touch over the last couple of years except and occasional Facebook hello. I am so sad, and so sorry for you all. If there is anything you need that I can do, please reach...
