May God grant you peace during this difficult time. The loss of ones we love can be difficult to bear, but he offers much comfort. We often ask "why our love one is gone?" In God's word we have the answer at Romans 5:12). May God give you the needed support.

I've heard nothing but such positive comments about Chad. The few times I met him, I got an immediate impression that he was a really great guy, a dedicated family man. I know he is missed by many and will not be forgotten. The world's loss is heaven's gain.

Chad, you are my best friend, always will be. We met when we were 5 years old and never lost touch,through everything we always remained best friends. I know as we get older, we begin our own lives with our families. Even though we didn't talk daily when we did it was like we never missed a day. When we saw each other it was the same way, for this reason we are family and not just friends. You will never know how you impacted my life in the 27 years I was able to know you here on earth. You will memory will never fade and that's my promise to you. Until we meet again, love you brother....
