My heart aches for all who knew and loved Chad. Chad had an overwhelming sense of happiness that spread contagiously whenever he entered the room. You could not be around him without smiling, it just wasn't possible. Chad you had such a short time on this earth, I'm glad that while you were with us you lived life to the fullest. May you rest peacefully in God's hands. We will all be drinking dark roast together again someday.

I got to know Chad several years ago when he came to Seattles Best Coffee.

I loved his passion for coffee,and for life. I will miss the way he use to come bouncing into our control tower where we worked, He was always so full of energy. He was a Good Friend and Great Coffee Roaster. I will miss Him more then I can express here in this note.
