I am so sorry. I have been watching, but I missed this. He was a wonderful person and a great example of a Christian. I consider myself very fortunate to have known him. I am certain God has a VERY special place for him, and an extra special mission for him.

Dear Durfee Family, I'm so sad to hear of your loss. I worked with Chad at Brooks Automation / Applied Materials for 9 years. He was always friendly and pleasant to be around. My deepest sympathies to all.

I appreciated working with Chad as a veil worker in the Salt Lake temple. He helped do the endowments for ancestors of some of our ward members. Some of these were from an area in Mexico where he had served as a missionary. He also showed the way to help in the confirmation of youth proxies.
Sincerely, Steven McNeal
