Chad was a student of mine at Grandview. He was hardworking and very focused. I enjoyed our conversations and loved his passion for learning. He brought a wealth of knowledge to me and to his classmates. He was in my class in the summer of 2007 and I so enjoyed him.
My deepest sympathy at your great loss.
Warmest regards,
