Chad's smile was infectious . He lived the outdoors. He hunted in our property with his dad, brother and uncle. He was so much fun to be around. Someone had dumped a basset hound at our house and that was a weekend he was down. He immediately started playing with her. He said if I couldn't find a home for herm he would help or take her himself. That was Chad, full of love and compassion; especially for the small and weak. Your light will be missed on this earth, but Heaven has a new bright light. And he was happy when I found the basset a forever home with my son. Love you my dear compassionate fried. Janet

Chad, you will be missed by so many! I know your mom from when she was a girl, and was there and held you the day you were born. You were loved and I know the loving arms of Jesus will embrace you now, as well as all of your grandparents who loved you dearly. Praying for your family as they grieve.
