Plain and simple, to know Chad was to love him. He was a man that others looked to for leadership and protection, but also for a heart-felt laugh. The mischievous twinkle in Chad's eye was always a signal that good times were on the way.
His smile was infectious and he had an uncanny ability to see the bright side of any situation. Chad took immense pride in his family, particularly his children.
Chad was born July 18, 1983, at Fairchild Air Force Base. He was a lifelong resident of Spokane, a student of the Cheney School District. Chad was a decorated soldier and career military man who made staff sergeant after only four years.
