I am so sorry for your loss. Chad was like a big brother to me in those high school years when having as many big brothers is important. This has affected so many people and I truly mourn for how hard it is going to be on Rudy and Vassili now to grow up without there father.

My deepest sympathies to Chad's family for the loss of such a young man. Rudy and Vassili, I hope you cherish the memories of your father and always keep him close to your hearts. Jeff, Leslie, Chase, and Calli, no words can describe the heaviness you must have in your hearts after losing a very important part of your family. My thoughts are with your family at this time of loss. I hope all of you can find a memory dear to your heart, and that is what you always call to mind when you think of your dad, son and brother.

Chad,
Wow, I don't even know what to say. When I saw you again at our last class reunion you seemed so happy and we had a good time together catching-up and just laughing about life. It was great then seeing you around the halls at MATC and you were so happy to be working on your electronics degree. I really am at a loss for words and am very sad to find out about this terrible news. I hope that you are finally at peace now and I send my sympathies to your family, especially your sons. They should know that there dad was a great man who was thought of as a great friend by many.
Rest In Piece Chad
