acd Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 Chad was a wonderful person and will truly be missed! He spent many hours riding around with my husband on jobs when he worked for the county and they ate lunch here a lot. He was quiet, sweet and polite. He always took the time to play and talk to our kids whenever they stopped by for a few minutes. I know he is in heaven now looking down on all his family and friends. Praying for God's comfort for the family. Link to post Share on other sites

cruisegal Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 This is just so terrible, I went to high school with him. The saying "Only the good die young" is so true. Does anyone know if it is true that he died of a heat stroke? Yes, we are good friends with the family, and my husband spoke to Roger directly and they believe it was heat stroke with smoke inhalation. He was burning off a field at his deer camp. Please pray for this sweet family, they are going through so much right now. Link to post Share on other sites
