Dear Short Family,
Chad and I dated for about two years and he was my first love, and my high school sweet heart! Even though we were broken up, I have always wanted and hoped for nothing but the best for Chad. He was a great person and such a pleasure. He had such a warm heart and great sense of humor and was my best friend! I was in nothing but shock when I found out about the passing of Chad. My heart is forever broken, I hadn’t talked to him in a while, but I had been thinking about him for a long time! Even though Chad and I went our separate ways, I would have wanted him to know that I truly loved him with all my heart! My heart goes out to the Short family, I am so so so sorry for this unfair loss!
Love Always & Forever

Dear Short Family, I am so sorry for your tremendous loss. I wrote this for Chad.
Chad,
Know that I am ever grateful for all of your support. When I felt like the world was falling apart around me, you were a rock. You tried so hard to help me. I wish I had not left. I wish I could have done something. You were and in a way still are, one of the most upfront, honest, genuine, loving, downright hilarious and uplifting friends I have ever had.
The night you left us I found out about the death of my frend Medric. I was
distraught. I knew there was something else wrong however, I knew you were in pain. He's a great guy, I'm sure you guys will get along.
sing, dance, rock out, exist in pure joy for all of eternity my good friend. And I will never forget you. I will remember all of the things you taught me. All of the times you made me laugh. The strength you gave me, and all of the fun we had out there.
somehow, as painful as it is, revisiting all of those memories gives me joy,
Your friend forever, Sullivan

Dear Short Family,
I am very sorry to hear of your loss. I worked at Catalina Foothills Church in the junior high an high school and was able to spend time with Chad when he would come. He would always put a smile on our face. I pray that God may comfort you as you go through this time.

Dear Jeff and family:
We are saddened by the news of the passing of Chad. He was always a pleasure to have stop by the house and update us on his studies in high school. And, I am remembering the wrestling meets and the hours sitting in the bleachers watching and chatting, the team in their uniforms waiting for the matches, munching on snacks and cheering their teammates on. Chad had a positive effect on us with his bright smile and we will miss him dearly. My prayers are with you.

I was so sad to hear of Chad's passing. I remember him as a cute 2 year old with lots of energy when you were opening the restaurant that was named after him. I am sure that he touched many people in his short life. My prayers are with you all.

We are so sad to hear about Chad. We remember him from little league at Udall Park where he was always so happy and friendly. It was a blessing to know him. We would always remember him when we drive by the restaurant. WE will continually lift you up in our prayers throughout the years. Love in Christ

Dear Jeff, Mildred & Dean,
Please accept my deepest condolences for your loss. In the time I knew Chad, I came to know the love he felt for each of you. He will remain in my heart as a young man of great potential and generous spirit. He had a limitless desire for knowledge. I remember him asking, "Teach me everything. I want to know it all." My prayers are with you and the rest of his family.

To the Short Family;
Doug and I are very saddened at the loss of your son. We never got to meet him but he was a fine looking young man! Your loss is one of the worst. We lost our youngest son to a tragic accident 13 years ago. We understand your pain. We are here for you if you need us. We can't make it easier for you but being with people who understand your pain is a comfort that will help you. God is the only reason we got through this. We got ourselves to Church and learned about the God who now has our son because we wanted to make sure we went to Heaven to be with him again. It has helped us tremendously. In Gods care you will not be let down. You're going to cry,scream, wail, question life, and hurt alot but I can promise you that God will be holding you the whole time and will give you some answers and comfort from your pain. I really hated when people told me that time would heal. How did they know? They didn't lose a little boy. I gotta say that it eventually does get better. We never forget our precious child. He sends us signs when we need them. He lives inside our hearts. Our home is filled with his pictures and art work from preschool. His memory will always be with us. Lots of nights in our alone time we fantasize about the day we see our son, Daniel, again and it brings such a hope and joy knowing it will happen when God is ready for us. Don't give up on God. He is the One you need most. You also need friends. You need new friends that understand what you are going through and old friends who know and love you and have always been there for you. Friends sometimes don't know how to help you or what to say. Just ask them to be there and listen and hold you. Doug and I are praying for you. Please contact us at ANY time. We will be there for you. 400-2998 or 981-3792

My condolences to you Jeff and to all members of Chad's family.
I remember first meeting Chad when he came out for freshman football. He was aggresive on the field, but gental and polite off the field. As his coach in wrestling, he made my job easier. He was, (not always) but most of the time a joy to have around. I shall always remember him. He will always be one of my favorite wrestlers and a young man I was proud to know.
I am so sorry that you have lost him.

Dear Jeff & Family,
Words can not express how very sorry I was to hear about Chad. He was such a great kid with so many great qualities. I will always remember his great smile, caring spirit for others, and the love he had for his family. He was a big part of why I loved working at Falcon Rock, and I liked him so very much. Please know that you are in my prayers.

My heartfelt sympathies go out to all of you. I was very saddened to hear of Chad's passing. It was just a short time ago (or so it seems) that Chad was in my fifth grade class at St. Joseph School. He was always friendly and full of energy, spunk, and life. He was a joy to share time with, and I know he will be sorely missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you, his family and friends.

Dear Chad's Dad, Grandparents,Mom,
I am so sorry for your loss, for our loss. Chad was my student at Falcon Rock. I taught Math. He taught me how to laugh, to not be so serious, and to be a true friend to all. I will miss his stories about his wonderful dad, his grandma's homemade cooking and cookies, his admiration of his grandfather. I love him.

My heartfelt sympathies to all of you! Just yesterday, or so it seems, we sat together at parent/student nights at F.R. It was so easy to see the bond and love you shared. My hope is that good will come from this for you, his family, for Chad's memory, and for the lives of those he touched during his short time with us.

Dear Jeff,
Please know that our thoughts and prayers have been with you ever since we heard that Chad had passed away. We are so sorry for your loss and will miss Chad terribly. We all have great memories of Chad and will hold on to them forever. He was such a great young man, so respectful and kind. Since Chad left this earth, heaven must be a little brighter.

Chad...although I only knew you for a short period of time while going to Falcon Rock, I feel honored to have known you. Thinking back on our times at or after school whether during breaks, community, playing volleyball, or just goofing off after school, I can recall you always bringing a light to things that shone so bright. Although your earthly time was short, I know that you will continue to live eternally in spirit and you will always be in my heart. I love you!
To the family, words cannot express my sorrow for your loss. God has a plan and although it may not be so clear right now, He will not leave you during your time of hardship. You are in my prayers.
