Jeff,
It seems like it was just yesterday that I flew with you at Delta. We talked about your boys quite a bit and I can see in your eyes how proud you were of both of them. Even though I have never met Chad, I feel like I know him from the stories and pictures you would share with all of us. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May the Lord be with you during this difficult time.

God took you away.
It doesn't seem fair,
but in the back of my mind,
you will always be there.
You weren't a close friend,
but our paths did cross,
and your absence in this world,
is to me a great loss.
You were too young to die, and
too innocent to feel that pain.
Only heaven benefits,
because you it has now gained.
I think of you so much more
with each passing day,
but your strength is something I won't forget,
you have changed me in a way.
I wish for you eternal peace;
that's what you deserve my friend.
I hope I lead my life well enough
to meet up with you in the end
Chad...you have taught me so much! You taught me many life lessons! Thank you for everything you have ever done for me. I really appreciate it. We all know you are in a better place now and you will be greatly missed. God Bless the family of Chad Riffle..Lil Riffle--we are all here for you if you need anything! Bye Superman..we are missing you sooo much!! _*_*_TiFfAnY_*_*_

Dear Riffle family,
I knew Chad through Mallory, and my brother, Tyler Godwin. I did't know him that well, but I knew him enough to know that he was a good guy and that he was cool as hell. He always made people laugh and was always there when you needed him to be. I so sorry for what has happened. May God be with you during this time, and just know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. We'll see him again some day.

My words can't even express what it is that I feel right now. It's so sad that this happened to a great guy. We're all at such a great loss, but we have to be strong and keep our heads high.

Karen, Ryan and family,
I was so sorry to hear about Chad. Chris drove from Tennessee as soon as he heard about Chad, and wishes he could have stayed for the funeral. I still remember Chad as a little boy in elem. school walking down Meadowview Terrace. I cannot imagine the pain you must be feeling right now, but if you ever need anything, I will be there for you. You are all in my prayers during this difficult time.

I may have not known Chad Riffle. But my older brother, Jared, played football once with him on a football league. I know his step-sister Brooke. Brookie, we all love you, and we feel your pain. Chad was really special even if no one knew him. If they knew someone close to him they knew him. My prayers are with you and your family in this time of sorrow. I'm always there for you. May god shine his love on you and your family. And Chad, I know that you are safe, and you are finally home in the house of god.
