I heard of Chad at work through my son Brian and his lady Arlene. They thought very highly of him and he will be missed by many. May his soul rest and his goodness shine through his children.

Chad was my best friend, he was a joy in my life. He loved his Grandma VanGundy very much, he would hug her every day and tell her he loved her. He was a hard worker, he respected people and loved his family and that add's up to a good man.

Will love and miss you always,
Uncle Gary & Aunt Cindy

So Sad, Are Work Let Some Ppl Go To Chads Funeral Today I Was In Tears I Didn't Want To Believe it, Seems Like A Bad Dream, He Was A Very Good Worker, He Would Come Into Work With So Much Engery, He Would Come By The Table And Say " U Know U Girls Are Doing A Good Job Today" Always So Funny. He Was A Coffee Addicted For Sure He Would Spill Half His Coffee Out And Pour Water Into It He Said What Its To Hot To Drink In 15 Mins. Work Is Not The Same, U Will Be Truly Missed By So Many Ppl Chad, Thankful Ur Grandma Came Into Are Work And Let Us Know. When We Work Fast We Say Its For U Chad. (: R.I.P Bub.

Chad was a very hard worker and a really nice gentleman. Just last week he had mentioned to me that he needed help with getting right with God. He was having a hard time in life and he wanted to find peace . I pray that his heart was felt by the lord and he cry was heard. Prayers go out to the family. Rest In Peace my brother. The battle is over.
