Not sure what to say?

I am so sorry for your loss. I didn't get the opportunity to meet Chase in person, but I spoke with him frequently. He was always so nice when he called into PALs. We'll miss hearing from him. He was one of my favorites.

Chase was one of the first friends I made during undergrad. We went on several trips over the years, and spent many weekends hosting gatherings at each other´s college houses. Chase is a part of many fond memories from my college years. I lost touch with him since OSU, but I remember him as a kind, funny, and intelligent person. I´m saddened and so sorry to hear of his passing, and I wish your family all the best.

Sending love to your family, friends and co-residents, I am so sorry for your loss.

I met Chase as a third-year during my first clerkship in OBGYN, and we became good friends since then. As fourth-years, we were co-presidents of the Diagnostic Radiology Student Interest Group where I had the fortunate opportunity to see his creativity and passion for recruiting other students to our favorite specialty. We even sat at the same table for Match Day, and I´ll never forget how excited he was when he matched into one of his top-ranked programs. I will miss him greatly. My deepest...

Chase was an amazing person. Great at ping pong and always humorous. He was honest - the kind of person who did the right thing even when he didn't have to. He cared deeply about his work and his relationships. We admired that about him. We pray for peace. For him, and for his family.

I worked with Chase during the first 2 weeks of my residency. Even during that short period of time I was able to see how smart and kind Chase is. He helped and taught me a lot during that period. He will always be in our memories. A heartfelt condolences to Ashley and all of Chase´s loved ones!

Had the honor of getting to know Chase while rotating through pediatrics. He was such a kind, thoughtful person interacting with patients and families-an excellent physician all-around. I specifically remember how he enjoyed talking about his daughter in between patients, and his eyes would light up when doing so. Thoughts and condolences with his family during this time.

In the short time we got to share with Chase as residents, we came to know him as a calm, kind individual and a thorough, empathetic physician. To Ashley and all of Chase´s loved ones, our deepest condolences and heartfelt sympathy.

Prayers for the Bertino and Smith families for your tragic loss. Tracey Brownell
