Chad David Rardon, son of David and Kelli (Cole) Rardon, was born June 30, 1996, in Norfolk, Nebraska. He graduated from Norfolk High School. Chad was unemployed due to medical reasons.
Chad was a jokester, loved playing video games, and was a loving uncle to his nieces and nephews. He was devoted to his many friends and would drop anything to help those in need. Chad had three dogs who were like children to him and always made sure he got them gifts on Christmas, just like his nieces and nephews.
Chad is survived by his parents, David and Kelli Rardon; siblings, Heather (Michael) Lauritsen, Ryan Rardon, Jamie Smith, and Derik Rardon; nieces and nephews, Alexis, Karley, Cole, Marilyn, Caine, Castiel, MJ, JD, Jayden, and Leilani; numerous aunts, uncles and cousins; and his beloved dogs, Daisy, Athena, and Simba.
He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Larry and Anne Rardon and Edward and Patricia Cole.
