I thought I could just leave a simple comment but the more I´ve spent thinking of Chad it doesn´t fit. He was such a nice man and I was lucky to have spent so much time with him. I met Chad through my brother Darien and he too ended up being like a big brother to me. He took me under his wing teaching me his vast construction knowledge when he was starting out on his own. I found that not only in construction but outside of work he was such a positive person to be around. I will really miss him and regret how time can allow friendships to drift. He helped me in so many ways and will always be thankful for who he was to me.
