Chad DeFoer Obituary
May 1, 1972 - May 29, 2025
Chad Rick DeFoer passed May 29, 2025. We appreciate the medical care staff at both Confluence Health and Harborview. Chad aka Bo was born May 1st, 1972 in Spokane Washington to Rick and Debra (McKitrick) DeFoer. He was born 364 days after his sister's birth. Bo was a happy baby despite his difficulties with spina bifida. Bo grew up in the Newman Lake area and in north Seattle. He graduated from Shorecrest High School in 1990. In 1991 he moved to Wenatchee and worked at Tree Top in Olds Station. Perfect attendance for 10 years plus. He had to retire early due to physical limitations related to spina bifida. He is survived by his parents, Rick and Deb, his sister Leslie Davidson (Todd), his nieces Katie Davidson and Kiera Silva (Gustavo). Bo enjoyed family gatherings, he has many lively and unique aunts, uncles and cousins. His Uncle Steve was a long-time friend and neighbor. His Uncle Jerry was his caretaker for the past few months. Bo's interest in motor sports had no bounds, usually watching NASCAR on weekends, or tooling around in his favorite Jeep. We will miss Bo's sharp humor, his dry commentary and his smile. A memorial will be planned later.
