Chase loved to laugh. He would be the first one to curl up with popcorn to watch a funny movie for the hundredth time. He was charismatic and compassionate. He played basketball growing up but always got to be Jordan while everyone else had to be Pippen. He loved with his whole heart and always made room for others in his life. He was hard working; consistently being the first to get his hands dirty to help anyone who needed him. Chase grew up in Franklin and attended Norwich Free Academy. He lived in Vermont for several years where he befriended many people. Chase made friends easily and kept them throughout the years, no matter where he lived. Chase was an unforgettable human being and will be forever missed by all that loved him.
