Chaddy! you we’re the best art teacher anyone could ever ask for. You believed in so many of us. may you rest in peace and enjoy the ride in heaven
Chad you were a great friend . You had such a free spirt and made me laugh so many times . You would always make my day when you would randomly drop in at my work to see me . You were always finding everyone a new route and adventure to go ride on . Those days will never be the same without you leading the way . On second thought you are still leading the way . In time I’ll catch up with you so until then feel free to randomly keep dropping in at my work . All the love bro …..

Dear Jerry & Taylor family. The Koch family offers our deepest condolences & prayers to you. We played all sports together growing up most of which were coached by Jerry. Great memories. Chad also taught me how to draw cars & trucks when we were students at Olsen Park. May Jesus embrace your kind soul friend.

I will always remember our friendship. Remember you being in the tree out front when you wanted to talk. We fought like brother & sister. But we were always there when the other needed them. Blessed to have you in my journey in life. Hug your mom till I get there. Miss you already tiger😢
You will truly be missed
