Chad graduated from Rowan County Senior High School, enlisted in the Marines, and later attended Morehead State University. Early in his career, he worked at Advance Auto Parts, then became an EMT and later trained and advanced to Paramedic, where he worked in Elliott, Morgan, Powell, Bracken and Rowan counties, and also worked as a central sterile technician at U.K. Hospital. He also served as a volunteer firefighter at Farmers Volunteer Fire Department. Most recently, Chad worked for Southern Home Renovations in Morehead and was currently employed at Lowe’s in Mt. Sterling.
Chad loved being outdoors and thoroughly enjoyed kayaking and fishing, as well as being out on the lake, boating, swimming, and tubing. He loved going to haunted houses and haunted trails during the Halloween season. He enjoyed reading Dan Brown and Stephen King books, as well as watching movies and listening to music. In his childhood and adolescent years, Chad played baseball, and later coached soccer and baseball, where he made many lifelong friends and brothers. And he really loved Steelers’ football.
He was the type of man that would help anyone that needed it, no matter the time of day or night, and would give someone the shirt off his back if they needed it. He had a big heart, a bigger laugh, and a contagious smile. Anyone and everyone who knew him, enjoyed working with him, or just being around him, were lucky to have known him. He was a loving son, brother, and father who will be greatly missed and lovingly remembered.
