May God bless you and watch over you during this time of sorrow.   


Pete & Margie Eldridge

Amanda, there are no words. I am so sorry and pray that beautiful memories and love from God, family and friends will give you strength and comfort.

I was so sorry to hear of Chad's passing.  My thoughts and prayers go to each of you.

All of us at Racheals Furniture were sad to hear of Chads passing and want you to know our prayers are with you and your family.

It is in times like these that our faith is both tested and celebrated.  Although I have not seen Chad in many years, the memories we had throughout high school are not far from my heart.  My family and I pray that Chad's family find both strength and peace during this time.  "The Lord gives His people strength.  The Lord blesses them with peace."  Psalm 29:11

My memories of Chad will always be great memories. I am so sorry that for now he is gone from us but I am looking forward to the the day when I can see that wonderful smile again. Chad was a true gentlemen of the the furniture business. I cannot remember a time during our tenure at Jackson Industries that he was not smiling. It seems he always took the time to talk to everyone and his conversations were always upbeat and positive. Great guy see you on the other side bro. God Bless.

I know that the world stopped spinning for a moment in time for all of Chads family and many, many friends  on May 3rd.  
I was privileged to have known and worked with Chad. He was such a pro and a man that I truly respected; a kind and good man.  I pray that the wonderful family that is left behind to deal with his tremendous loss will feel the presence of angels wings holding them as God gives them strength and faith to heal. 
My prayers and  deepest sympathy,
Vickie Davis

I had the privilege of knowing Chad for the past few years. My husband David and Chad worked together but were more than just coworkers. They were buddies who shared a love of football and music... and were even making plans for another concert in a few weeks. I have a feeling he and some friends will still attend in your honor. 

I got to see firsthand Chad and Amanda's adoration for each other a few years back, as we spent the day tailgating with Texas BBQ and taking in a fun game. What a beautiful couple... so in love. I can definitely say Chad was one of those people who just made you smile. 

As David's wife, I would like to say 'thank you' to Chad. Thank you for being such a great friend to David. More often than not, when I saw him smiling and texting on the phone, it was you who was making him laugh-- and there were always stories about you two rooming together at markets. You are a cherished friend who will not be forgotten. We love you. We're grateful for the time we had with you and for your sweet, kind spirit and love of the Lord. We are hurting that you are gone, but know that you're in heaven and better off than we are. We look forward to that sweet day when we will all see you again. Our prayers to Amanda and to your family.

May The Lord hold your family and friends in His heavenly arms and give you peace.

We offer our deepest sympathy at the loss of your dear Chad. Our prayers and blessings are with you.  Your friends from the Palms in Galveston.

Our deepest sympathy on your loss.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Another Angel has been called home,he will be missed but never forgotten, because we will always remember that smile.

My deep sense of loss will be felt for a long time. I was blessed to work with and know you for over 11 years Chad... all of it filled with laughter! I will miss the time spent together at Markets, and our professional sharing of knowledge and opinions, but most of all, our friendship.

I won't forget your smile! Ever! So glad to have known you growing up. Praying for your family through this difficult time. Dance with the angels.

Suzanne and I were shocked when we learned of Chad's passing. I never saw Chad without a smile...he always spoke kindly of others...and was one of the best guys I've ever known.
  
"When you were born, you alone cried and all others were happy.  So live your life that when you die, you alone are happy and all others cry." 

We are all crying...

Chad was a caring loving person, always putting others first. He always made sure business was taking care of and always kept me on my toes :) My thoughts and prayers are with you and  the family. Chad will be truly missed.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Chad and I were in the same youth group at St. Timothy's UMC. He is part of many of my childhood memories. When I think of him, it makes me smile. He will be missed.

I worked with Chad for 14 years, and he made it fun. He made me laugh and was always encouraging and supportive. He made the tough times better and the good times great. I'll miss him and think of him often when Texas Tech plays...and when KISS plays. Stay strong, Williams family. My prayers and thoughts are with you all.

Chad you will be missed, I always enjoyed our talks at the furniture markets. I pray for God's blessings on you and your family.

Sweet Mandy, I am so sorry for your loss. My family is thinking of you and your husband's family. Praying for God's comfort and peace. Love you, cousin.

We are so sorry for your loss.May the peace that passes all understanding comfort you and your family today and in the days to come.
Much love to you all, Bill and Laura Mathis

We are so very sorry to hear of your loss.  We will keep you in our prayers. May God send his angels to wrap their wings around you and bring you peace.  - Glenn and Brenda Hagler

I am so sorry for your loss Mandy. I can't even imagine. Love you Honey!!! My thoughts, prayers and the peace of the Lord be with you and your family.

I just hurt. Chad was a great man and eager to help the Hamilton Bryan Furniture family when he could. I send my prayers for the Williams family and friends.

“You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hid.  No one after lighting a lamp puts it under the bushel basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house.  In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in Heaven." Matthew 5: 14-16

Cindy, Larry and family, May the Lord comfort you in your loss.  May He give you His peace that passes all understanding and guard your hearts and minds in Christ.  Peggy Hensley

"You are the light of the world, let your light shine before others, people do not light a lamp and put it under a bowl, instead they put it on a stand and let it shine for all." Matthew 5: 15-16

Words can't properly convey the shock and disbelief I still have regarding Chad's untimely death.  I was fornutate enough to work closely with Chad the past five years, and even more fortunate to have become his friend.  We shared a love of baseball, great cigars and this crazy business to which we were a part.  

Chad was one top-notch co-worker, and I was so pleased he was honored with our 2013 Salesman of the Year award just last month at the semi-annual High Point Furniture Market.  However, as great as Chad was as a rep, he was even a better person.  

I knew well Chad's strong faith, his love for his wife and family, and the great pride he took in working with his uncle Mike Gross - who I'm sure was a strong influence in Chad's life.  He will never be forgotten and I will always cherish the memories of the hard work, laughs and great times we shared.

Godspeed my brother -

Chad was always so thoughtful and fun to work with. He knew how to serve--without expecting anything in return. I will miss him a lot.

Chad was a friend in the classic most pure sense of the word.  From the simplest of gestures to the nobility of personal sacrifice.  He was always there.  If I could make him laugh, it was a good day.  He was cracking me up constantly.  He had a knack for calming the seas as well as getting a room to cheer.  Learned so much from him professionally, took me under his wing when I first got started in the furniture business...  Thank you for that, Chad.  I will miss you, my friend.  This sense of empty loss won't subside any time soon...  Love to Amanda, Cindy, Larry, Shalyn, Mike, Dot and the whole family.

Chad was a great guy and a true professional who was always quick to help whenever he could. Always bringing smiles to everyone.  I pray that Christ wraps his arms around his family and comforts them in this difficult time. We will all miss you

As a past business partner and friend, you will be missed. I am confident in knowing your faith has taken you to a place of peace. Your talents in business were many and I appreciate what wisdom you have left for all of us. Though your life was short, you made the days count.  Thank you Chad for the time spent and you are loved by many.

I was only able to know Chad a short time. But in the little time I spent with him, you could tell how full of life he was. He was a friend to all, and his energy invigorated the room. He will be greatly missed. I was blessed to be able to know him. Rest in peace Chad!

I am very sorry for your loss. Your family is in our prayers.

Chad always brought a smile to the room.My fellow Houstonian ,I will miss all the laughs we shared.May you rest in peace and you will always be in our thoughts.Till we see you on the other side.

Chad was Great Guy who was a friend to many. He will be truly missed by all that knew him. May he rest in peace and his loved ones be comforted by their fond memories of his warm and cheerful smile.

Chad had a ready smile for all those he met. It was a pleasure working with and getting to know him. He will be greatly missed by one and all at Coast to Coast. May his family be comforted knowing he now resides with our Lord and is watching over them from above.

Chad was always full of life and energy. Having known him a short time, he always had time for me. His spirit will live on.

Chad was a true professional, but more importantly a terrific human being. It was an honor to know one of the very best in the business and recently awarded salesman of the year at Jackson and Catnapper. I pray his family take comfort in the same Christ who has now made Chad's joy complete and eternal.
