As a boy, he liked fishing, camping, and played youth soccer. He graduated from Greece Arcadia high school in 1990 and worked as a landscaper at Rose Landscape and Design. Spending time with family was something Chad loved to do, especially while fishing, bowling, ice skating, and sledding. Chad also enjoyed snowmobiling, ice fishing, spending time at "camp" near Waterloo, cooking, and tending to his garden. Chad was also a talented writer who wrote poetry and had recently completed his own biography, "Undertow". Some of Chad's favorites included the movie Tommy Boy, Calvin Hobbes comic strips, playing drums, and 80's rock music - which he liked to play very loudly! Family and friends would best describe Chad as having a great sense of humor, someone who was animated, silly, liked teasing people he cared about, intelligent, great at math, and charming. He had numerous friends and was known as "stinky feet". Chad will be greatly missed by everyone who knew and loved him.
