I haven’t been on Facebook for several years but, today I am making an exception. Chad was an Innovator. Whatever he came across, he instantly looked for a way to make it bigger and better. Always wanted to take it to the next level by creating a better way to do things which always resulted in a bigger & better outcome.  He always went through this process with the biggest smile you have ever seen. Our entire family will miss him.

Truly sorry for Chad's family during this difficult time.
Bella loved it when her Daddy picked her up from preschool and later,  elementary summer camp, especially on a camping weekend. Chad helped Bella be the best little girl she could be.  We will miss his smiling face at Trinity. 
I never met Chad but I know how Megan felt about him so I know he was a special man. It’s just so very sad when people are taken too soon. My condolences to the entire family. Words are never enough to express the thoughts of love we have for others in their time of loss.

It was fall over 15 years ago when Chad, who always had a smile since the day I met him surprisingly said he would volunteer to help with what actually was my band’s first show before an FSU football game on my porch. He helped set up a back drop, run sound, & park cars. I’m not sure if I paid him that day…if I did it was probably $20, but he was very happy to be there. My dog Brutus ran free in the chaos and I recall he wouldn’t leave Chad alone because he kept giving him love. I have a lot of fond memories of this kid … his dad’s 40th birthday party mortified late into the night when his mother took over his drum sit….me giving him drum lessons & he having such a positive attitude…Panama City Beach in a condo being entertained by his father reciting the chorus to Toby Keith’s “Whose Your Daddy.”

It wasn’t a lot of time that I was around Chad, but when I was it was always a nice time.

Not every story has a happy ending. Robby & Barb have many wonderful chapters in their life to look back on and cherish. Samantha will always be missing a piece of something. Grief, void, & sadness will one day turn into enhanced love for each other and for her two children and Bella they will get multiplied love always. Wish I could hug the three of you…..

I am so sorry for the loss of Chad. I was able to spend some time with him when his grandfather passed away. Bella touched my heart during this visit. She went out and gathered little pine cones from the yard to gift to all the adults who were sad. I took the pine cone with me to the funeral the next day and shared with her how it was making me feel happier. I brought it home with me - keeping it on my desk as a reminder of the love of that special little girl. Love and prayers for our grieving family.
