A devoted son, loving father, and skilled chiropractor, Chad touched the lives of many in the Baton Rouge area through his compassionate care and dedication to his patients.
A man of many passions, Chad found solace in music. He was also known for his adventurous spirit, often channeling his love for the outdoors into hobbies such as shooting and prepping survival "bug out bags." His adventurous nature reflected a profound love for life and a desire to embrace its challenges head-on. He leaves behind his beloved children, son Landon Thomas Ledet, 18, and daughter, Shelby Elizabeth Ledet, 15. They were truly his heart. He was so proud of the young adults they have become. His love for his family was only matched by his affection for his loyal dog, Cayenne, who brought joy and comfort to his life.
He touched the hearts of many and leaves behind a legacy of kindness and love.
