Chad was always a professional and caring person. He always had that smile on to help you feel better. God bless you, Chad.

Still missing you, it was always so wonderful when we connected again. You were such a huge part of my childhood. 

Chad was my boss at APUS for eight years, a very long time. We had our ups and downs, we disagreed on things from time to time, we went through successful and exciting times together, along with the amazing School of Business team. I tell you one thing, no one knew the School of Business the way Chad did. If you knew Chad you can agree what a great guy he was, when he cared for someone, he cared very hard.  I was not only his assistant, but I was his friend. He deeply cared for my family, something I will never forget. I went through difficult times while we worked together, challenging times with my daughter’s health, the loss of a baby, another difficult pregnancy and he was always so supportive and understanding through it all. Chad was always there for me, supporting me all along, even knowing I was out on leave and he was probably needing me at work.  He supported my dreams to pursue a college degree, it all started with him. We enjoyed conversations about traveling, cooking, fashion, home decorating, he always asked for my advice on which tie looked better with his gorgeous suits (the guy had a great sense of style and liked the good things, he was always so elegant!). I am having a hard time coming to terms with losing Chad, my heart it still broken. He was so smart and dedicated to what he loved and who he loved. Chad was pretty brilliant and an easy person to care for. I pray for him and his family and I hope he is happy and at peace now, back with his loved ones that left before him, including his dogs and horses which he loved so much. Chad played a huge role in the person I am today professionally.  I will always remember the good times and his beautiful smile. I will forever remember him and thank him for everything he did for me and my family. I know he appreciated everything I did for him. The great thing is that Chad knew I loved him and I know he loved me back …RIP my beautiful friend… 

Chad brought positive energy and enthusiasm to every room he entered and was a great role model as a leader during my time working with him at American Public University System. He truly cared about the students in his school and wanted to give them the best experience possible. I’ll never forget how excited he was to talk to students and alumni at commencement the first time I attended. He was exactly the type of person you wanted in your corner and will be missed by everybody. 

Chad and I worked together at American Public University System for many years.  I always found him to be kind, warm and genuine --- a true gentleman.  He took great pride in the work he did, but, most importantly,  cared deeply about others. I've heard that people won't remember what you said or did - but will always remember how you made them feel.  Chad made me (and others) feel valued and appreciated.  Sending my condolences to Gary and all of Chad's family and friends.  He will be missed by many!

Though I am not able to attend today's memorial service I  am praying for Larry to have peace and eternal love.  To Larry's family, that they find solace in the many beautiful memories ♥   

I worked with Chad for several years at APUS.  I would frequently stop by his office for chats or advice, and he always seemed genuinely pleased to see me and welcome me in. I'll always remember his kind words and hospitality.  He had a quiet presence that commanded respect. When he spoke in meetings, I paid attention because I knew it was something that he had really given some thought to and would be impactful.  I learned a lot from Chad, and was saddened to hear of his passing.  My thoughts are with his family and friends. 

Chad was one of my first and closest work friends at APUS. We often ate lunches together when we had our east coast work meetings. We hit it off right away when I started there in 2011. Beyond speaking up for directors and faculty members as a dean and leader...he was just always fun, kind, interesting, and positive as a friend. I was sad when he left APUS and am even sadder now. My heart goes out to everyone who knew him and especially his family and loved ones. I miss him and am so glad to have known him.

I was so was deeply saddened and shocked to learn about Chad's passing. I worked closely with Chad for many years and saw how he always had a passion for perfection. He worked tirelessly to solve problems and make things complete, while trying to make everyone happy.  He always talked to me when we travelled for work about his plans for the future living in Sarasota close to his family.

I worked with Chad for about 12 years. He was my supervisor for several years and he was a wonderful mentor to me. Chad was one of the most reliable people I have ever worked with. He always gave 100% on the job, he cared deeply about the people he worked with, and he was extremely loyal.  Chad had a plethora of outstanding qualities and he did wonderful job coaching myself and others to be strong leaders. He was a great listener and problem solver. His preparation was top notch.  Some of my favorite memories of Chad include hanging out at work events were we often chatted with friends and colleagues and spent time laughing for hours. Chad became close to my family as well. He was always kind to my entire family and constantly asked about my children. He was a great mentor and friend and will truly be missed. 

I worked with Chad for over a decade at APUS. He was a kind man who was passionate about our students and our mission.  He always had a warm smile and will truly be missed.  Sending love and light to Chad's family, friends, and colleagues.

Chad had a passion for his students, his work, traveling, eating great food, and just enjoying life. I worked with Chad for over ten years at APUS and always enjoyed our conversations that covered many topics. Chad was such a kind person who put the needs of others in front of his own. I am saddened that he left us so soon, but I know he is no longer in pain. He will be greatly missed. 

I worked with Chad for several years at APUS and I remember how kind and helpful he was when I joined the team. I wouldn't have known so many things about what it meant to be a dean at APUS without Chad's gentle guidance. He was a true friend and always knew how to make a colleague feel supported. We all missed him when he moved to a new position, and we will all miss him dearly now that he's gone.

I've known Chad since he arrived at APUS. I knew him to be thoughtful and introspective, focused on the University's Mission and supporting the success of his School while being kind and generous to others. I am saddened to know that someone so kind is no longer with us. Prayers for the family and friends who knew him best. ~Kim

I am deeply saddened by Chad's passing. He was always very kind and good-humored. I always enjoyed his company and hearing his laughter. This world needs more people like him in it.  He will be greatly missed.

My husband CJ and I both worked with Chad at APUS for many years and were deeply saddened to hear about his passing.  Chad was an extremely thoughtful and caring colleague.  Our condolences to all who knew him.  

Chad was a trusted and valued colleague at APUS. He was one of the kindest people I've worked with and did everything with a gentle spirit. He was easy to approach and showed that he cared about everyone around him. I will miss his big smile! 

Chad was one of the kindest, most gentlest people I ever knew. I would with him for nearly 20 years and always enjoyed working and traveling with him. He always had a positive and upbeat outlook and always had a smile on his face. Chad will be missed dearly by all. He was my friend and I will miss him dearly. 
~Chris

Chad was my Dean, but a friend before that.  He always had a smile . and he did not have to work hard to make you smile. He really cared for the reputation of APUS, always finding ways to show the world we were the leading online college.  When many think of APUS, they think Chad. God bless you Chad. Your presence is still here.

Chad was my Dean at APUS for several years. My sincere sympathy to his family and friends. He was a true gentleman, kind and sincere in everything he did. May happy memories surround you and give you peace.

I am so sad to learn of the passing of Chad Patrizi. I worked with Chad for over a decade in many different roles. He was always so professional with a passion for our students and lifelong learning. Chad was such a kind gentle soul with a big heart, told great stories, and always took the time to lend a helping hand to others. You will be missed by so many Chad. Rest in peace. ❤️🙏

I had the good fortune to work with Chad throughout my employment with APUS. Although our paths did not cross often, when they did he was positive, helpful, and willing to provide sound advice. He loved APUS and it came through in all that he did, especially his daily interactions with others. I am deeply saddened to learn of his passing. He passed away far too young and had far more to accomplish. He will be missed by all who knew him.

I still can't believe Chad is gone. Last time I saw him was our farewell party for him as he was starting his new career with the American College. I was his assistant for 5 years at APUS, he was a great mentor. He cared about everyone he worked with and he was always professional.  He gets so happy and excited every time he visited his mom in FL or when she would come up and visit in VA. I will surely miss talking to him and greeting him on his birthday since we share the same June birth month. I will never forget you Chad. 

 My sincere condolences to everyone who loved him especially Gary, Chad's mom, and family. 

I am not even sure what to say. Chad was a valued mentor to me and others during both my time at American Public University and then as a partner in the development of the Academics department at The American College. He was always kind, considerate, and understanding. I appreciate all he contributed to my career and to me personally.  Chad was a valued friend, boss, and mentor.  My condolences go out to Gary, as well as his mother and sister and families.

To a dear sweet loving man.  So many memories.  Crying together half the night when your horse died.  Deaths of loved ones we shared.  An Andre Bocelli Christmas concert in Las Vegas.   Chad, I will miss your humor, your boyish smile and your elegance.  You were truly a friend

I am so sorry to learn of Chad's passing. He was a considerate and caring person. I met him a few times while attending work projects at the APUS Charlestown campus and at graduation ceremonies.  He will be missed by all who knew him. 

I met Chad in the late 1990’s when we boarded our horses  at the same barn.  Over the next few years, I ended up with one of his horses, KC. I still own KC and even  though we haven’t  seen much of each other, I have always kept him up to date on KC and we chatted like long time friends. 
Chad was compassionate about his animals, smart and changed the lives of ever one he met. He was an amazing man and he will be truly missed. 

To Chad's family.  I am so deeply sorry for your loss.  Chad was such a wonderful person.  I had the honor of working with him when our paths crossed at APUS.  He always took the time to listen and one could see that he put students and faculty first in his role as dean.  My academic career was enriched working with Chad and he will be greatly missed by all who knew him. 

Chad touched so many people, A true gentleman.  A valued mentor.  My sympathy to the family.  He will be missed.

I had the honor and privilege of working with Chad at APUS for 10 years. He was truly a wonderful and caring gentleman and his passing saddens everyone who knew him. Conversations and meetings with him over the years were always insightful, many times fun, and always worth the time spent with him. He cared so much for his family, colleagues, and friends and that always came through. He was really one of the "good guys"! My heart-felt sympathy is with his family and I wish them strength and peace at this very difficult time. He will not be forgotten.

I have known Chad for many years; he was my Dean at APUS. He was a kind, considerate and passionate man who cared for those who worked for him. I will always remember the good times and hold onto memories. He left us way too early but I know he is enjoying heaven and those who left us before he did. He loved his family and his animals. He will always be remembered. RIP Chad. I will miss our talks.

My heart is so sad that Chad passed so young.  Its been too long since we've seen each other but you are forever one of my dearest friends ♥   may you enjoy eternity with love!

I am feeling so many things right now about Chad's passing. It's mostly a swirl of being numb and sad.  My thoughts and prayers go to Chad's family, who he often spoke about and loved very much. I also am sending my positive thoughts to Gary, who brought so much joy to Chad's life. 

Chad and I became friends nearly 20-years ago when he picked up the phone to call me for a position at APUS as a faculty member.  The call changed my life and in so many ways, I am where I am today because of Chad.

But I am not alone. Chad touched and changed many, many people's lives. He was all about inclusion and support for others, regardless of life circumstances. That was the metal of this man. 

May he rest in peace. He will not be forgotten.  

I had the pleasure of working with Chad for several years at American Military University and he was a good friend and colleague.  He was a class act and had a tremendous impact on so many people.  He will very much be missed and I hope that he has been reunited with the pets that went before him.

My sincerest sympathy and condolence to family and blessings to Chad on his next great adventure. It was a privilege to work with him at APUS.  
Peace,
Linda Ashar

I worked with Dr. P  "Chad" at American Public University. He was always kind and thoughtful of his faculty and staff. He went out of his way to make all feel welcomed. At APUS, we felt a loss when he moved on, and now we feel that same loss. RIP.

I work at The American College of Financial Services in the Academics Department. I just wanted to offer my condolences.  Before he left, Chad used to meet with my team and me every quarter to discuss current goings-on and any areas of concern. He was very approachable and caring, and he was wonderful to work with. I am very sorry for your loss.
