I really hadn't seen Chad too much since high school, except when I see him in passing or at the shelter, but I know he is safe with our Lord. Todd, my condolences go out to you and your family. My prayers are with you all in this sorrowful time.
I'm going to miss Chad so much. I really loved him as an older brother. He always made me laugh. The last time I saw him, he came up behind me and bear hugged me when I turned around and saw that it was him, i had the biggest smile on my face. I always felt good when I was around him. I have so many good memories of Chad and I will cherish them forever. I love you Chad!

My deepest sympathy for the loss of your dearly beloved one. One day soon, death will be swallowed up forever -Isaiah 25:8 and Jesus promises, the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out – John chapter 5 verses 28, 29.
My heart goes out to you… I remember Chad and Todd spending the night at my house and bringing Todd home after church in the morning… Your two boys are wonderful and you are in my family's prayers
My heart is broken after hearing of Chads passing. I worked with Chad at the Shelter, he had so much love for his job and his friends. His smile light up the room. I will deeply miss his smile and laugh. Please accept my deepest sympathy of your loss. He will be deeply missed. Warmest Regards,Wendy Reimer

One of the last memories I have of Chad was him showing up at my parents home when he found out I was in town to visit for the first time since moving to California. It was like I hadnt left at all; he welcomed me with open arms and a warm smile and wanted to know when we could hang out. He really was a true and dear friend that will be sorely and forever missed. Jack, Maureen, Todd and Julie, my heart goes out to you. Chad, we had many great times together that I will always cherish- thank you for letting me be a part of your life. I love you! RIP.
Our deepest condolences for your loss. Patra, Lexi family
