There is so much I could say about Chad.. The man chad was you undoubtedly would gravitate towards him and feel the need for his involvement in your life. I had not known much of chad before Jon had passed but as soon as he did chad took a broken kid just barely starting in his military path and believed in him. Chad you gave so many people hope and you were the glue to a lot of broken souls. We love you so much and till Valhalla.

Chad was a kind soul with the most giving heart. He went out of his way to always make people feel welcome and dedicated his life to serving others. To know him was to love him. I am thankful I was able to cross paths and share many fun moments with him and his crew. He may be gone but never forgotten. He is flying high and watching over us all.

Chad was an amazing man. I had the honor of meeting him about 20 years ago. I will cherish all the memories that we made together. I am so thankful that I will see my brother again one day! Uncle Chad, your NC nieces and nephews miss you dearly. Even though, you were not their blood uncle-you served that role as one.

Chad has always been there for our family when we where at our lowest points, he spoke at my little sisters funeral, and he was the only person who broke the what seemed to be a never ending silence. during the only time in my life that i was truly lost. In that tiny hospital room after my uncle Kenny had passed, Chad remind us that life goes on and that you should live for those who are no longer here. ill always remember his words, and i could never repay him for what he did for us that day. chad you and your boundless charm will be extremely missed.

I am confident that it is more sad for those that did not have the privilege to know and love Chad and be blessed by his vibrant love for life and Christ than those of us that did know and love him and lost him. Heaven is lucky to have him but we will miss him tremendously. Until we meet again. Love you bro
