CHAD ALDRICH Obituary

CHAD MICHAEL ALDRICH BURLINGTON / MILTON - Chad Michael Aldrich, 27, of Milton, passed away Monday, Aug. 2, 2010 due to injuries sustained in an automobile accident. Chad was born on July 6, 1983 in Burlington, the son of Larry Aldrich of Tampa, Fla. and Michele Boucher and stepfather, Dan Mashia, of Georgia. He enjoyed hunting, fishing and hanging out with his family, friends and his dog, Oliver. Chad had a kind, caring heart and a friendly personality; there was nothing he would not do to help someone in need. Chad is survived by his parents; five brothers, Jason Aldrich of Milton, Tyler and Reece Mashia of Georgia, and Dustin and Isaac Aldrich of Tampa, Fla.; as well as his grandparents, aunts, uncles and many cousins. He was predeceased by his grandfathers, Ronald Aldrich and Noel Boucher, Sr. The family would like to thank the wonderfully caring staff at the Fletcher Allen Health Care ICU unit for everything they did for Chad and his family. There will be a funeral service on Friday, Aug. 6, 2010 at 1 p.m. in the Chapel of Corbin and Palmer Funeral Home, 71 South Union Street, Burlington, VT. Visiting hours will be held at the funeral home on Thursday, Aug. 5, 2010 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Michele Boucher, P.O. Box 182, Burlington, VT 05402.

dear Chad, I cannot believe in the next like 24-30 hours that it has been a year. It feels just like yesterday when we got that call. I still think about you a lot, we ALL do. It's so hard to say goodbye to someone that you love, and that's why I still haven't said it. It's hard when I have to close my eyes sometimes to really think about what your voice sounded like....I don't want to not remember everything we've gone through. If I can keep on holding on, maybe I can keep my heart from knowing that your gone! We ALL love you and miss you Chad! I for one will never forget you!

June 2, 2011

My son,,it's been 10 months,,Still can't beleive that you are not coming home..I miss you more everyday, I look forward to the day that we meet again. Life will never be right for me again.You touched so meny lives chad..WE all miss you....luv you my son.....LOve mom

I'm shocked that I am just hearing about this, I knew Chad from high school at BHS, and to lose someone so soon before their time is awful. My heart goes out to your family. God bless you all, and remember to talk to him everyday, he'll hear you, and he'll smile.

Chad,
It has been almost 8 weeks since you left and since you left it has been sad for me and for everybody. I know i will get through it but i will never forget you and all our talks and long walks and staying up late watching movies and you making me go in a stranger's car with you because she had a rabbit cage for Thumper. I miss you so much. I have so many good memories of us but if i wrote them all down it would take up a billion pages. I love you so much, you were such a great person. You would've done anyting for me and I would've done anything for you. I remember like 2 or 3 years ago you were talking about me being YOUR bestfriend. I know your still with me and all of us but I just want to hold your hand again and give you a big hug and never let you go. I wish I could hear you breathe again and hear your voice. I know your in a better place, I just hope you still remember all the things we've gone through. I love you My Chaddy! Thank you for everything you've done for me and My Family!
Love: Jess

Chad,
It's been a little over a month since you've been gone and writing to you today is no easier for me than it would have been then. I miss you a lot. When I close my eyes I can recall so many memories of all the fun adventures we had growing up, the jobs we worked at together, the good times, and the bad as well. In so many of my memories you are right there beside me. You were more like a brother to me than my cousin. I'm so sorry you were taken away from us so soon, but I'm thankful that you were part of my life and will continue to be in the memories that I will hold onto forever. Love you.

I am so sorry for your loss. I remember Chad when he was just a baby and learning to walk and how cute the boys were playing together. I see Chad with is blond hair and little belly hanging out.
