My condolences and hopes that the family will find peace amongst each other and friends. I was stationed with Chad on the Constellation 91-93 in Philly before he went to Shenandoah in Virginia. He was a great guy who was always game for anything fun. He brought his fellow HT's a lot of laughs with his pranks. We knew him best as Orpie which is what he spray painted on his car after a night of fun. 🤣 He loved driving that car around Philly with Orpie on it. All great memories! RIP Orpie!
Chad always had a smile and he shared a special bond with his brothers! When I would see him with his dad, I would see so much love and laughter between the 4 of them!! I know that Chad and Tyler are cracking jokes together now!! And they would want Tim and Jarred to do the same!! Live, Love, Laugh!! Chad Thank You For Your Service ! I will love you always as I love your brothers !
