We miss you dearly Chad. You were such a wonderful, gifted young man who was loved by so many. You brought such happiness to my brother, Kevin and his family and for that I thank you! I’m truly blessed to have a piece of your artwork (Robert De Niro as Taxi Driver) and will cherish it always. I hope that your new journey brings you peace and joy. You will always be in our hearts and thoughts forever.

I was blessed to know the young boy who loved to look in the mirror and make silly faces, who was so proud of his full collection of Star Wars action figures. Who knew he was on to something when he was just 8 years old. I was blessed by his presence – he was approachable as a young man and aswell as a grown man. Testament to his wonderful parents -He was good looking too. You know those Swede’s! Chad – your life was a miracle – you didn’t let anyone down – you were a true friend to your parents, siblings, and friends. You were dealt a bad hand – none of us know why – but we have all been touched to the core -the sting of your passing hurts – but brings into perspective what is important in life. The things you did oh so well – love people. May you be gracing Heaven with your awesome smileMay the peace that passes all understanding comfort all that are left behind. love your Aunt Cheryl

Chad,
Monday was my day off with my family. I was mindful of you as I walked Ella around the block. I smiled thinking of you when I heard a horrible cover of Abba’s Dancing Queen. I hugged Cameron a little tighter and little longer that morning. You are loved by so many. You have inspired us with your strength. Thank you for leaving a mark on our hearts.

Our deepest sympathies to those close to Chad. Im so sad to hear that his battle with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia has ended. What a fantastic man! Hilarious, kind, smart, excellent taste in dogs, shoes and action figures. And did i mention hilarious? Chad will be missed by many, my daughter, Mia and i are two to add to the legions that will miss his bright presence.

I will miss chad very much. I am not good at expressing feeling such as I have now, but I do know this. The world is a better place because Chad was here, Heaven is a better place now that he is there. I am a better person for knowing him and I will be a stronger person for having him in my heart forever.

I guess I am now ready to say that Chad has gone to a better, less painful place. To see his suffering over the past 16 1/2 months was dreadful as a mother and as a human being. Chad fought such a valiant fight, always focusing on the future. He had spirit, my superhero (yes, from his early years, he was always a superhero!), and fought a valiant and brave fight against such a dreadful disease. We can only hope that science will find a better way to fight this disease. Chad leaves such a loyal and loving family and devoted friends, I cannot begin to express my gratitude to everyone who has touched Chad’s life and ours. Remember him in your hearts. Love, Linda

The world is a little less bright without Chad in it, he was such a fun spirit…always there to make us smile. My thoughts go out to his wife and family.

i have nothing but the most positive memories of you in high school. you were full of life, hope, humour, fun, spunk. you didn’t bat an eye if someone asked you for help and were never one to judge. i am so glad to have had the chance to know you, have classes with you. you touched so many lives in your short life, i hope it will be a small comfort to your family in their time of sorrow to know that you were loved and cherished by many. sending love, light and happy thoughts to your family.

I will miss you and will think of you every day!!! I watched your dogs back in the day-they would burrow into the blankets and snuggle at all the inappropriate times, and pee all over the floor! You had more pairs of Puma Shoes than anyone I knew, and you were always the one who brought the show to the party! I miss you and will forever miss you! Much love- Blondie
