Chad was a wonderful Dad, friend, co-worker and person. I have so many great memories with Chad. We worked together for 5 years and I couldn't have been luckier - I attribute much of my success at Lowe's to Chad. My heart goes out to his daughters. He loved his girls so much and was so proud of them. I will miss his quick wit, amazing sense of humor and his kind heart. Chad has touched so many lives and was loved by many. He is one of the kindest, most caring people I have ever been blessed to call my friend. I will see you again, my friend, until then I'm sure you'll be making everyone laugh in Heaven.
