We had dinner with Chad and his sister Trina several times. He was always fun to be around. Chad will be missed. Our hearts go out to Brittany and Luke, and the rest of the Kenger family. He is holding hands with POPS and is no longer confused and ill.

Very sad to hear this news. Chad was an old friend who was also my neighbor growing up. He was always such a kind person with a huge heart. I only have fond memories of him as it's been years since I have seen him. My thoughts and prayers go out to Chad's family.

Some people would say it is a harder time of year to lose a loved one, but Christmas covers times like this. Jesus was born and resurrected for days like today. I pray you are encouraged and assured of God's love and concern.
