Born on July 16, 1978, Chase grew up in Jefferson Hills, Pennsylvania, before making Greensboro, North Carolina, his home in 2002.
Chase often said that his purpose in life was his family, and his daughters, Josie and Ella, were at the center of his world. He cherished the everyday moments they shared: playing tag with Ella throughout the house, staying up late watching TV with Josie, jumping on the trampoline, playing family games of four square, and setting off fireworks while watching their excitement.
A hardworking and resourceful man, Chase was always willing to fix or build something. Before starting a project around the house or working on one of his cars, he often watched YouTube videos, which he called “research.” He took particular pride in working outside, especially mowing the lawn, and even started a lawn care business—partly because it gave him an excuse to buy an expensive mower.
He loved the outdoors, especially hiking, kayaking, and gathering around a fire. Some of his happiest moments were spent with friends and family, sharing stories and enjoying one another’s company.
CrossFit was also an important part of Chase’s life. For nine years, he was part of the CrossFit community, where he embraced the fitness, strength, and challenge it offered. Through CrossFit, he formed many meaningful friendships and built a community of friends who valued his dedication, humor, and camaraderie.
Chase attended Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, where he earned his Doctor of Pharmacy degree. He dedicated more than 25 years of his professional life to CVS.
Chase will be deeply missed by his wife, Dori; his daughters, Josie and Ella; his parents, John and Joanne Caligiure; his brother, Marc, and sister-in-law, Kristyn; his sister, Marcie; his niece, Abby; and many extended family members, cousins, and dear friends. He was predeceased by his brother-in-law, Tim Strobel.
Chase’s greatest joy was being a dad. The memories he created with his girls, the friendships he formed, and the time he shared with his family will remain with them always.
The family will receive friends and loved ones from 9:30–10:45 a.m. at Hanes-Lineberry Funeral Home, 515 N. Elm Street, Greensboro, NC 27401.
