Chad Orr Obituary

Chad May 6, 1972 - Orr Chad Orr, 53, passed away on June 4, 2025 from a rare and aggressive cancer, leaving behind a legacy of unwavering love, kindness, and strength. He was a devoted husband, loving father, proud Papa, doting son, caring brother, and a loyal friend to many. To know Chad was to know true selflessness, compassion, and joy.
Chad was born and raised in Arlington and graduated from high school there in 1990. He was a proud member of Tulalip Tribes and enjoyed participating in native traditions. Chad's friendships and love for people encompassed all aspects of his life, from those he met as a 33-year member of the Local 32 Plumbers and Pipefitters Union to those he was thrilled to see while operating his Boom City fireworks stand. Each and every friendship was special to him.
Chad married the love of his life in 2013, and together they lived a life full of laughter, love, and many adventures. Traveling became one of their favorite pastimes and they were able to explore 25 countries on 6 continents together. He loved his family fiercely, treating his stepchildren as his own and beaming with pride when introducing his grandsons. Being Papa was his greatest joy-he was playful, present, and deeply cherished.
Chad was our rock, our Superman, and our light. He showed us what unconditional love looks like and how to find good even in the darkest of times. He will be missed beyond words and loved passed space and more.
He is survived by his wife Tracy, three children Austin (Dawna) Orr, Kayla Land (Jared Elias), Kyle Land, grandsons Cypress, Cayson, Dawson, Liam, Jo, grandma Beverly Gobin, parents Ted (Pam) Orr, Valda Gobin (Herb Spires), brothers Rick (Sherrie) Orr, Caleb (Branda) Orr, Josh (Crystal) Orr and many aunts and uncles, nieces and nephews, cousins, and friends. He is now reunited with his brother Teddy.
A celebration of Chad's life will be held at one of his favorite places, Tulalip Resort Casino on Saturday, June 21st at 5pm in the Orca Ballroom. In lieu of cut flowers, please consider bringing a live plant.

I have no words for this great loss. My heart aches for myself, Tracy, and his family. My grandson Chad was my "golden boy."
