Chad gained friendships in any room he walked into. His energy was magnetizing and warm to any person he encountered. He lived every day to the fullest, beginning to end with a burning passion to experience everything this wonderful life he lived had to offer. Chad loved deeply and gave tremendously, the unconditional appreciation he saw in any situation good or not so good was inspiring. He had a heart of gold and not even a million men could replace him.

As Chad would say now, we made it. His seven amazing children, six-bedroom house, his little garden, and his wife Lucy was what he lived for every day. He was rich in many ways, but mostly by the love he was surrounded by. “We have everything we ever wanted,” he’d say proudly. He made life more than enjoyable and meaningful for the people surrounding him. He made living quite the experience that most don’t get in one lifetime.
