Deeply saddened as i just found out about this tragedy. Chad and i grew up together and had the best of times. Fond memories of Old trucks, dirt bikes, great music, and great friends. We truly had a great relationship as we grew up next door to each other. Where does the time go?? Thought of you often and wondered what you were up to. This is not what i want to hear about any of my friends........so sorry!! See you on the other side my friend.

Not sure how to express the sadness that i feel, as i have discovered that my good buddy, while growing up, has passed on to the other side. So many fond memories of all the crazy fun times that we experienced in our youth. Old trucks, good music, and great friends defined me as to who i am today. Chad was there every step of the way. Good bye my good friend!! I have thought of you often and now that will intensify exponentially. Sadness!!

We've known Chad and Renee for about 28 years and I can confidently say I have never known a more upbeat and genuinely fun couple of people to be around. I'm so sorry Renee. Chad was a wonderful person.

Chad, my thanks for all our talk times through the fence while I was at my pond and you were in the secret garden. You knew my struggles and I'm so glad you have a wonderful family who helped with yours. I hope there's a trout pond in heaven!

Chad and I were 11 months apart, and I am the oldest of what he called "The Sisters." I will miss his laughter, and contagious optimism. He left us a beautiful family legacy with his wife and children. I love you Chad, give mom a kiss for me.
