Chase Ridenour Obituary
01/28/1994 – 12/27/2024
On December 27th, 2024, Heaven received one of its most magnificent angels. Chase Ridenour was born in January of 1994 in Tucson. From the day he came home, he loved life and everyone around him. He lit up every room he entered and never met a stranger.
As the oldest of 4 children, Chase was a natural caretaker from an early age. He helped raise the 3 most favorite people in his life: his brother Tanner, his sister Brynn and his brother Caden. He shared his love and entire world with each of them proudly.
Chase was an avid sports fan and incredible athlete. He loved youth baseball and was a leader on every team he joined. He was a lifelong fan of both the Arizona Wildcats and Diamondbacks. He attended Catalina Foothills Highschool and went on to get his degree from the College of the Desert in California. Throughout his life, Chase had an innate ability to lift people up. He genuinely cared and went out of his way to make sure the people he loved knew they were loved. He had an amazing work ethic, never backing down from a challenge and taking pride in taking care of himself as well as others.
Alongside his siblings, Chase is survived by his father Cary (Sally) & mother Christa (Mac-fiancé), his Aunts and Uncles; Donna Lewis, Laura (Barry) Mac Ban, Brian (Shannon) Bundrick & Brandi (Larry) Nishnick. He is also survived by his Grandparents Gale & Carla Bundrick & M. Paul Capp, along with 9 adoring cousins and his new baby niece Aspen. Chase is being received in Heaven by his Grandpa Don and Grandma Connie, as well as his cousin Gunner Bundrick and Godfather Wade.
Services will be held for family and close friends at St Alban's Church at 10:00 a.m. on January 24th. A private reception to follow. In lieu of flowers, the Ridenours will be establishing a charitable fund to help provide baseball and softball equipment to those kids that register for Sabino Canyon Little League. Chase wanted kids to get back to the park.

I had the privilege to be introduced to Chase through my daughter Kali. Just by first meeting I could tell how charismatic he was. I am deeply sorry for your loss and my prayers are with you.

I got to know Chase when he was in 3rd grade. I was his elementary PE teacher at Fruchthendler. What a great kid and very athletic for his age. Sending my condolences to his loved ones and his family.

I can´t imagine my childhood without Chase. He was one of my biggest supporters. He played an important role that will not be forgotten. My prayers are with his family during this difficult time.

I had the utmost pleasure of working alongside phil as a coworker, and not long after, as his manager, as well.
As time passed, the better we got to know one another, I learned that we actually worked with a few of the same people at a restaurant back home in California, at different times in our lives. I couldn´t believe how crazy and ironic it was that we both ended up working at the same hotel restaurant in Tucson, Arizona.
I´ll never forget when I was still in contemplation about accepting the manager position. Phil was one of the few people that said "Do it. You´ll do great and we´ll all be here to support you."
Phil was selfless, trustworthy, and tremendously hardworking. He was the kind of person that you could rely on, not only get the job done, but to do it well. I´ll never forget all of the laughs we shared, or his comforting smile. You´ll be forever missed phil. We love you.

Chase was one of the kindest most genuine and hard working people I have ever had the privilege to meet. Every room he walked into he lit up. I once had an interview where they asked about a person I admired for going above and beyond for the people around them. Chase was that person for me.

I only knew Phil for 1 year, but it felt like a lifetime. He was like the older brother I never had. We had so much in common, we were pretty sure we met in high school but couldn't remember. He was just always so protective and nurturing. We would laugh til we cried. I'd see him walk into work and knew work was going to be ok because I had Phil by my side. Last time I heard from him was on my birthday, 12/10. We both said love you and miss you... didn't know it'd be the last time. Such a beautiful soul, and gone too soon. I'll miss you buddy. Love you.

My heart is breaking for you and your family. I can remember when you were pregnant with Chase. Then when you visited and we all had little ones. I know he was the light of your life. I believe his light still shines bright. I am thinking of you.

My condolences to his family. He spoke very lovingly of you all when I knew him. He especially loved his wife, Christa, and I am deeply sorry for your loss. I will miss him, and the opportunity to meet you all through him.

I am so sorry for your loss. I know you don´t know me, but I knew your brother. He was a friend to me and one of a kind at that. I would consider him a brother.
I am overseas in Kuwait and got the news, and the obituary. I know there is no easy way of dealing with this situation but I would like to support in any way I can.
He made a huge impact on my life and I would like to be there for his funeral, however like I said I´m deployed to Kuwait. Please let me know if there is anything I can do besides the contribution to his obituary.G

My Brother loved that he was the Godfather to your first born son. I know that he is in Heaven with a broken heart for you and your family but he is probably really happy that he and Chase are together again. And probably watching all the sports together. My heart is broken for you and your family.

Sending my condolences. Wish I could be there. I´ll never forget seeing him as a baby and just being in awe of him and his perfect face. I remember his Aunt Brandi bragging about how smart he was and then seeing it with my own eyes when we picked him up from school. Sending all my love to the whole Family. xoxo
