I'll never forget who you are. Even though I could sense the personal emotional challenges that you were brave enough to share with me, I never thought I would be searching for you like this. I denied with furious anger anyone who asked if i heard you were gone.  

I can't understand how to grieve just yet.  I am trying to fixate on your eternal peace in Summerland.  But no matter how hard i try, I cringe to think of your family's loss.  I cry when i realize I'll never hear you say again "i love you man, you're like family to me" at the end of time spent together. 

While I didn't know you for long,  it seemed like you were an old soul.  I bet our paths and similar story of heartbreak and loss crossed before, spanning other lifetimes.   Talking with you about anything and everything was easy and so helpful. 

Thank you for the times we had.  We are still hoping the tips for Grace's obedience pay off (though i don't think i have the right accent for those command words) and I still have the notes of advice on buying my son's first gaming PC (AMD!).  I am having a quick trip to ColdStone in your memory.  I will never forget your humility the night we went out for  breakfast at the waffle house just because we didn't want to go home yet.

I hope everyone gets to meet someone like you in their life.  Your range between wit and  gravity is amazing.  I dont think I know anyone as funny, intelligent, helpful, and understanding as you.

My big brother, I love you more than words could ever describe. You guided me in ways you’ll never know. I couldn’t have done this life without you and I’m not sure how to carry on now. I will love you forever and ever. You were the sweetest most careless man I’ve ever met and taught me to find someone just like you. Devin and I will hold it down here if you and Bubba can hold it down up there. I’ll miss you forever. Love, your little kid sister. 

Felicia, My heart was broken when I saw Chads name today.  No words can bring you the comfort you so need,
Please know  I am thinking of you and all of you are in my prayers.
Laura Muzekari

Steve and Susan Poulin

My thoughts and prayers are with the entire family and friends. I cannot begin to imagine the pain and sorrow being felt. He brought smiles and laughs to so many. I cannot begin to describe all the memories we all had. Again I’m so sorry for the loss of your beautiful son 

With deepest sympathy for the family, and his mother Felicia, we carried a big lost ,and May was never a good month,god bless you now here you are again. I never meet Chad ,but heard alot about him over the days since I found what was so short a life, he looks like a great son, and there's nothing to be said. losing a child is the worst for a mother ,and family ,and we left behind has to try to go on, but it never happens we excist with a part of our loved one's always on our mind ,and why's are never answered. I beleive God is always with us, and our loved ones are in a better place. For that we will meet again. We carry on so there life meant something ,
and be there for everyone they touched ,and the grandchild who needs to be comfort, and never forget her daddy. I pray for strength, sympathy, and the courage to carry on in the future. Time don't heal our heart's ,and we have our time to go on, but we never let go of the memories. Know we are here for you, and the family because he's in a better place with his brother We shower your family with comfort ,and prayer's . Sadness of knowing there's nothing to comfort you.  always, John & Brenda Cockerill

Chad was such a nice, fun-loving person. His laugh would always make me smile. I hate we never went fishing. Throughout high school I always enjoyed our conversations and the fun we had.  He taught me a lot of things some good and some bad. I will truly miss him. My deepest condolences to the family. I hope time will heal your pain.  Love, Jack Hendrix
