Cute, handsome, polite, Chad had the best of qualities.  He was a real charmer.  He had the special smile that touched so many during his short time here on earth.

Chad, loved the sport of football, and as you can see he was definitely the right size for football.  He was 6'2" and weighed about 235lbs, and played the game from his heart.  He loved everything about the game, never missed practices, worked hard to be a starting defensive player. He did not pursue football after high school because he knew his education was more important to his future.

Chad had quite a character about him, I often wondered what he was thinking? He was outgoing in all activities, and always wanted to be a part of the crowd.  He wanted to be one of the guys.  He enjoyed hunting, fishing, and skiing.  

If only we could have had some more time with Chad on earth, we would have known the wonderful man he would have become.  I only wanted the best for him and I am so thankful I was able to give him the things he wanted in life.  My memories of the years I spent with him will be within my heart forever.

As you look through the pictures on this site, just notice his winning smile, and how his beautiful hazel eyes just light up your heart.  He was quite an inspiration to me, I know how precious life really is, and only can hope that other parents can hold onto the love they have with their children.  Each day is precious, so make it that way!  Make each day a memory to hold forever.

Chad, from birth to death, he touched my heart in no way anyone ever could.  I devoted my life to his schedule... I never missed a football game, a school event, and even arranged my employment to always go around his schedule. He was my life and I am so glad I devoted my time to being there as a parent.   He made parenting a pleasure and a mountain of memories I will hold close to my heart forever.

Before completion of the site, I will have a link to enlarge each photo for you to view.   Some of the pictures provided were taken by Bo Piper Studios and I want to thank Bo for making my memories wonderful. 

Look over the photos, and just remember this was a young man that touched many lives, and will be a memory forever in many hearts.
