Chad had place in my heart. I'm very sorry to hear of him passing...he is missed!!! Only God knows why and when. I know that only Chad can do the job God brought him home to do. I send my heart with my prayers to those whom loved him most. Rest now Chad....you are loved and missed greatly!

I think of you often my friend and our fun times.  the dreams I have of you.  your always laughing and picking on my driving.  until we meet again taking our motorcycle ride.    I love and miss you very much.

Chad was the best friend I've had and I still think of him daily. That's how I stumbled into his guest book now. I love him still. He was so very happy his last day in his physical body. So proud of his children. So at peace. He truly loved his family. Everyone was blessed to have known him even if a short time. I love you Chad. Still. Xoxo

Chad was a very kind warm-hearted man. He will be missed very much by some very close friends & family. Our prayers are with everyone mourning the loss of this loved one.

I have so many fond memories of Chad, from all the time I spent with y'all when we were kids.  I hadn't seen him for a while but every time I did, he always had a smile and would take a few minutes to stop and chat.  I'm praying for all of you in the days, weeks and months ahead.  May God grant you peace and comfort.  Chad, this is not goodbye, this is see you later.

So Sorry for your loss of your Son, We have been there and pray for the family--John & Bonnie Hanger

To all the Estes family, I send prayers of comfort at your time of loss.  From the halls of Crimora Elementary to the graduation of Wilson 1993 I was a classmate of Chads and remember Larry coaching ball as we grew up. An unexpected loss is tough but with God as your strength you all can face this time together as family. Know that Chad accepted his heavenly Father and he will be awaiting you all one day.

Jackie, You, Tish and the entire family are in my prayers.  May God give you strength during this very difficult time. [Hope you remember me.  I babysat for Amber and Justin both in Crimora and after I moved to Waynesboro.  I've married so my name is changed from Hedrick to Spencer.] My heart goes out to all of you.

Larry & Jackie, We are so very sorry for your loss. The loss of a child is never easy. Our thoughts are with you & the rest of the family. Timmy  &Shelly Ponton       Crimora,VA

I'm beyond words with this loss.. Chad and I were great friends back in school.  We stayed in touch but not enough.  Wish I could have been there for him more considering how much his family was there for me growing up.  I will miss him dearly.  My prayers for you, Jackie and Larry, so sorry for your loss.

My sweet Jackie, I am so saddened for your loss and I am keeping you and your family in my prayers!  I pray God will watch over you and comfort you during this difficult time and in the days ahead.  Love you!

Sorry to hear of your loss. Sending prayers for your family.

Jackie and Family
All of you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Jackie and family,
I am at a loss for words. Find peace in knowing that he's with our Father. Love to you all.

Jackie, Jonathan and Brianca... there are no words to express the passing of Chad. I have several memories with Chad and the kids  when we dated. And Jackie, I  enjoyed the time I was able to spend with you on the Sunday's that Chad attended church with me. Letting go of a loved one is not something that anyone wants to deal with because we love so hard. God has taken this special loving man home with him, and all we can hope for is that we will get to see him again. So I open my heart and soul unto God and submit myself as a sacrifice so that you all don't have to struggle so hard with the pain and hurt of him leaving you. Dear Heavenly Father I pray right now that you cover this family with a blanket of love, peace and tranquility right now in the name of Jesus. Give them comfort in the mist of their loss and strengthen then as they proceed on in life without their loved one. Hold their hands as they grant Chad the honor in his home going and May God continually bless their souls. Loving the family and sending my heart felt sympathies to the Estes ' family.   

Love,  Deanna, Jheremonte and Lakeyn Washington and family.

Larry, Jackie and Family, So very sorry to hear of your loss! We can only imagine the hurt and pain you're going through. God wrap each of you in His loving arms and give you comfort and peace. Our thoughts, prayers and sympathy are with you in this sad time!

I'm sorry to hear about the passing of Chad. I went to school and graduated with him. He was always fun to be around. I remember playing ball with him and he always had that big ole smile. I was in Va a few years ago and ran into him at a gas station and he still had that big smile. I am glad to hear that he too had come to know Jesus. Knowing Jesus helps in times like this. I am sure Chad will be missed greatly. I will be praying for your family!

I graduated with Chad in 1993. We payed ball together and often hung out in the cafeteria and talked. After school i didn't see him for a long time and ran into him while he was working for a moving company. We talked about the old days and he told me he gave his heart to Jesus Christ. We prayed together and i left and never talked with him again. Not sure about his later years but his testimony was rock solid. I will see you in heaven Chad.  Prayers for his children and family.

Jackie, want you to know that our thoughts and prayer's are with you and your family. We are so sorry for your loss.

Thoughts and prayers to the Estes family... May God give you strentgh!!!  We havent seen each other much since school but when we did we always hugged one another.  We had alot of great times in school... Love you Chad and we will see each other again!!!

So, so sad! Much love to family! 
Prayers!

Sorry for your loss. You're all in my thoughts and prayers

 Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and i will give you rest. Matthew 11:28 My thoughts and prayers you with you all.He will be missed.
