My heart goes out to all of you during your time of loss. Even though I did not see Chad very often, when I did he would always greet me with one of his amazing hugs that made you feel like you were loved.
Gone from this world too soon.
Sending all of my love.

Barb and family may your memories of Chad give you strength and peace in the days ahead.
My son, Chad, had a big heart and was a free spirit who lived life to the fullest. This sudden tragedy is heartbreaking to all of us – his brothers Dennis (Mary), Todd, Kevin and sister, Paula. I’ve learned the greatest gift we have in life is our children. Love for my son, Chad, remains forever. I’ll always have happy memories to keep Chad near. There’s no tragedy in life like the death of a child; the sorrow is immense! It leaves me helpless and numb unable to think or say anything. A loss to us is a gain to our God.
Love, Dad Delorenzo

I was lucky to have Chad as a friend, we worked together in South Point OH . We worked maintenance at a hotel and he was my best friend for those years we worked together. I’m heartbroken to hear this. My prayers for his family. I’ll always remember the amazing times and fun we had. He was a GOOD man and an even betterfisherman.

I remember back in the younger years when Chad drove my Monte Carlo down the hill of West Main heading towards downtown Kalamazoo and the Ice caught the tires sliding out of control but that was an awesome experience as Chad handled a Monte Carlo on Ice very well! Love that guy he was a good character!
