    Chad, you were always someone I enjoyed seeing at AAA. Just like in these pictures, you were always smiling and joking around. I’ll miss that and I’ll miss you. I hope you’ve found peace.

    I would like to express my sincerest condolences to the family. May you find comfort in the words of Jesus at John 5:28, 29 – “Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life.” When Jesus was on earth, he raised up people from the dead, providing evidence that this hope is a reality. May this assured blessing encourage and strengthen you.

    I am deeply saddened by the loss of Chad. I worked with him here at AAA. I can still see his kind face. He was always pleasant and kind to me. May the love and mercy of our Lord be upon you and your family during this unfortunate time. I have been where you sit. Only prayer and love can sustain you now and in days to come. My most sincere condolences.

    My heart hurts for Chad today. He was a college buddy of my son Marcus and they kept in touch after those wacky years at SMS. Chad I know you will be greatly missed. My prayers and thoughts are with your parents today and those asking the proverbial question ” How do these things happen, he was one of the good ones?” Lighting a candle at mass in an hour for peace and comfort for all who you called friend.
