A bright light gone far too soon.Chad had a zest for life, for learning about the world and how things worked in it. He was always the curious cousin. Asking so many questions, the "whys", and all of us trying to fulfill that curious twinkle in his eye he carried at such a young age. He was also mischievous, & liked to push the boundaries at times but he was so intelligent. I think some mischief often came from needing a challenge. He encountered many struggles in his life that made him a stronger man. He had a big laugh that brightened up his whole face and made those in the room laugh too, he gave great hugs, and if you were down and out he would be the one to try and brighten your day.
He loved his family fiercely even if there was distance between you and made you feel special when he saw you.
He was a great wordsmith when he wrote a letter or a card. My most cherished memories will be traveling to see Chad and spending time with him just he and I driving in his car laughing. He was always excited to show me his favorite Florida spots. Him taking me to Universal & Disney were great memories, his favorite Hibachi, the boardwalk, causeway, etc. or just listening to good music in his room. When he came to Ohio, some of my favorite times were seeing Chad with my mom. They had a special bond that could not be broken and she adored him. I did too. Chad you were taken way too soon but will be in the hands of your heavenly family who love you. Til we see each other again...may you be at peace.
