Chad Raymond Reis

Chad, its interesting how some people you just remember when they are gone...You are one of those people. The legacy you left behind for me is your love for the outdoors and respect for wildlife. Whenever, I am fishing for trout, watching a deer graze or hundreds of snow geese rising up from the rice fields, I think of you buddy and the many stories you shared with us about your connection with nature. I remember you as "one of the good ones!"

Chad, When Daisy and I walk by your home we expect you to be out front, greeting us, discussing some interesting topic with me that we might not always agree on but we could listen, learn and respect each other´s opinion. That´s how I remember you ~ or helping the kids with woodworking, frying up something on your grill or just chatting with your family ~your beautiful blended family. And always, always getting treats / biscuits for Daisy or having one of the kids do it. You were so good to...

Dear Chad, Rest in peace my friend. I am honored to have known you and when I last saw you it was awesome. I will always remember you.

Chad- I only met you once and it was full of laughs . I will always be grateful for the smile you put on Audrey´s face and the love you showed Carson and Bryadon. You will be missed.

May Chad rest in paradise. I worked with him at UC Davis and am shocked to hear this. Chad was so welcoming and easy going. We will miss him.

Sending thoughts, love & strength to Chad´s family. I remember Chad always smiling. Incredibly respectful and kind. He would spend time at our childhood home from time to time, and we received our most beloved dog `Bo´ from the Reis Family. Loved that dog. On behalf of the Bordenkircher Family, we sent our deepest condolences.

The love of friends and family carry you through your grief.
