Chad James Sance, age 52, of Colorado Springs, passed away peacefully on Saturday, January 3, 2026. His passing has left a deep emptiness in the hearts of his family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Chad was a loving father, son, brother, and uncle whose life was shaped by kindness, loyalty, and strength that spoke louder than words. He had a gentle, joyful spirit and a way of making people feel comfortable and cared for. Chad was always wiling to help, often putting others before himself without hesitation or expectation. His heart was genuine, and his care for people was real and constant.

Above everything else, Chad was most proud of being a father. His daughter, Cassie, was his greatest joy and the center of his world. He spoke about her often, always with a smile and deep pride. Being her dad meant everything to him, and his love for her was steady, protective, and unconditional. That love defined who he was and guided the way he lived his life.

Chad worked School District 11 for seven years as a building manager. He took pride in his work and was known as dependable, respectful, and dedicated. He believed in showing up, doing his job well, and treating everyone with fairness and dignity. Those who worked with him appreciated his professionalism and reliability.

Chad is survived by his loving mother, Kathryn Noble; his daughter, Cassie Sanchez; his niece, Sadie Sanchez; and many cousins who will carry his memory forward. He was preceded in death by his brother, Eric Sanchez, whom he loved deeply and missed greatly.

Chad's presence will always be a source of strength and love for his family. He will be remembered for his kind heart, his joyful spirit, and the deep pride and love he carried for his daughter. Though his absence is felt every day, the memories he created, the laughter he shared, and the love he gave so freely will remain alive in the hearts of those who knew him. His life leaves behind a legacy of compassion, devotion, and goodness that will never be forgotten.
