I met Chad when he visited Boston at least 10 years ago. I was the bartender across the street from his hotel. He absolutely stood out as one of my most favorite bar guests. He was so incredibly funny and sharp. I had a friend in him instantly. The world lost a beautiful person. Much love to his family, they raised one hell of a man. Rest easy friend. 143

Im remembering the times when you were as real and alive as anything, standing in front of me, but now seems like a trick of reality as if it was never true. Like a patch of time and space named Chad was ripped away from all of us. RIP brother.

I did not meet Chad until I was an adult, but I've kown the Kent family a long time. Losing a loved one so young, is so heart wrenching. My love and heart go out to all of you. Chad was an amazing soul. He was also a part of a strong and loving family.

We'll miss you at synagogue. We had so much more kitchenware to sell to the goyim.
I know you're rubbing your hands together and trolling the hell out of feminists in the afterlife. RIP bro.

I don't remember if it was confirmation class or just regular church classes, but it was 20-ish years ago, and the teacher was asking the class what we thought about heaven and hell. Chad, not a regular contributor, raises his hand and offers: "You know, I've always thought that when bad folks die... they don't go to heaven where the angels fly. They go to a lake of fire and fry." The teacher, blown away by Chad's profound thoughts, said: "Wow, what an interesting thought." Then, totally straight-faced, Chad concluded: "And maybe we won't see them again until the fourth of July."
I looked around the room, expecting to see everyone losing their shit, but I guess there weren't a lot of Nirvana or Meat Puppets fans in the room, and class just proceeded like nothing had happened. Thanks to Chad the theologian, I still have a good laugh every time I hear that song.
