Chad’s 50th Birthday

by Meda | Jan 17, 2023

For as long as I live and am capable, trees will be planted each year in honor of Chad's birthday. The planting of trees represents Chad's love and concern for the environment. You are dearly missed, Chad, but your memory will live on in the planting of these trees....

In Your Honor Chad

We love you. Now and always!

Happy Birthday Chad

by Mom | Dec 21, 2021

You know how much I love and miss you. I tell you everyday, and I can feel you listening. I know you wouldn't want me to cry, but sometimes the pain comes in such big waves that I can barely stand it. I'm not sad for you. I know you're safe and your healing is...

If I had only known the last time would be the last time I would've put off all the things I had to do I would've stayed a little longer, held on a little tighter Now what I'd give for one more day with you 'Cause there's a wound here in my heart where something's...

Back-flips

by Mark Pirner | Jun 28, 2021

Chad, Todd, myself and a few friends were hanging out, drinking beer and had some music cranked. (shocker right!?) Chad stood up and said "I feel like doing back-flips". So we went out into the back yard and you guessed it, Chad started doing back-flips. Just like...

Learning words

by Meda Taubenheim | Jun 27, 2021

I was just looking at Facebook, and there was a post asking you to tell what words your kids didn't pronounce correctly. Most of those are scams to get your info so I never respond. However, this is a safe place! When Chad was a toddler and I would ask what he wanted...

A Message To Chad from Mom?

by Meda Taubenheim | May 25, 2021

I was the first to love you, before you were even born. My tears will never dry; my heart will forever mourn. But life must go on without you, even though it's hard to bear. No one really understands my pain, and it hurts too much to share. So I'll cry my silent...

Sneak and Peek

by Meda Taubenheim | May 15, 2021

Christmas was a pretty big deal at our house. Lots of presents, family gatherings, and more. Little did I know that for a few years, Chad had been opening his gifts, sneaking a peek and then rewrapping. I really don't remember how I found out, but Todd and Chad were...

Fun-Loving Rascal

by Todd Robertson | May 15, 2021

For as long as I can remember, Chad always had a fun-loving spirit and was eager to find that next fun thing to do. When we were kids he was always laughing and smiling, while I was probably a bit too serious about things. He had one of those smiles and laughs that...

Chad was not to be underestimated

by David Zuls | May 10, 2021

I spent a lot of time with Chad for a couple of years. He was pretty quiet and reserved and had a very unassuming look and presence. The trucker hat, tattoos and scruff gave him the appearance that he was average at best. But after you got to know him, it became...

No Hunts!

by Johny Wright | Apr 16, 2021

When Chad would be in-between projects he would go into, what he called, "survival mode". During these times he could make $1.25 last 2 weeks. On one occasion we decided to take Chad out for dinner and to watch a game. After our food came, he dipped a French fry...

Friend

by CoCo Kelley | Apr 15, 2021

Chad was a great guy. One of my favorite memories of him was Amber's 30th Bday. Sean threw her an Epic 70's themed Surprise party. We Showed up at the venue, Vegas and Chad were dressed perfectly to the part. Not just hats like the avg. joe, he had the best costume...

Santa Claus

by Meda Taubenheim | Apr 8, 2021

Chad (R) Todd (L) getting some Christmas goodies. When Chad was 7 or 8 he came to me and said someone had told him Santa wasn't real. I always had mixed feelings telling my sons about Santa, the Tooth Fairy etc. After all I was trying to teach them not to tells lies,...

Chad’s Chili

by Todd Robertson | Apr 8, 2021

Back in our young adult years, I remember that Chad would frequently make chili, and I loved it. Pretty much all that I would eat was frozen burritos, ramen noodles, and pasta. But Chad had a knack for whipping up some pretty tasty meals. Anyway, I have been going...

Skills Out of this World

by Todd Robertson | Apr 3, 2021

I was always blown away by how fast Chad could pick up new skills and learn new things. His passions were primarily focused on art, animation, music, and design, but he could figure out and master pretty much anything someone could throw at him. Chad and I started a...

The Daredevil
