Hi Cheryl, I went to school with Chad in West Seattle. I was just talking with someone about my 20yr reunion coming up next year in 2012. I thought of Chad when mention was made about friends that have passed since highschool. I had heard that Chad was killed shortly before our 10yr reunion in 2002. I just saw your blog on the internet and wanted to offer you my condolences. I am in total agreement that the penalties for most violent criminals are not stiff enough. I am truly sorry for your loss. I hope you have found peace and solice in God and wish you and your family well.##imported-begin##Joseph O'Connell##imported-end##
This month marks the 4th anniversay of Chad's death. When I open this "guest book" it makes me cry. My stomach curls up in knots and then seems to crawl up into my throat. This page brings home the realization that he is dead. I miss him so damn much. I've been told that time heals all wounds and the pain will lessen but it really has not. The wound is still here and the pain is still great. There have been so many times the past 4 years that I have begged God to hear my Son's voice. I don't want to forget what it sounded like.....While I have pictures to remind me of what he looked like and how handsome he was, but I have nothing of what his voice sounded like. I miss hearing his laugh, the simple sound of his "Hi Mom"......
Chad, my handsome son. I miss you dearly. The ache in my heart will never go away. I can only pray that I will see you again in Heaven.
Hold on, wait for me. I will be there some day soon.
Hugs Mom.##imported-begin##Cheryl##imported-end##
It is Saturday, November 12, 2005 and I am sitting here, reviewing several of the memorials that Chad's wonderful friends had written. I am doing this in memory of Chad and also in grieving now not only for Chad but for his dear friend Shane Micheal Sullivan. Shane took his life on November 9, 2005. He never really got over loss of my Son. I am in total shock over this event. For the past three years Shane was there for me and now as I continue to struggle with the loss of my son and now to only loose Shane who was such an inspiration to me, so helpful, caring and generous. I feel like I am loosing Chad all over again.
The sorrow in my heart runs so very deep - it can never be mended now. Only our Lord in heaven can guide me through this tradegy.
Chad - please find Shane, be together so that when my times comes to arrive in heaven you both will be there to greet me.
I love you both so much. The pain is so great.
God rest both your souls.

I just wanted to say how sorry I am to hear that Chad is gone. I grew up with him through elementary and junior high until everyone went there seperate ways in high school. I kept in contact with him until the end of sophmore year. He always had a great sense of humor and a very strong character. I was just informed of the tragedy that happened. I wish I would have been able to attend the service. He will be soarly missed. Please accept my condolences.##imported-begin##Hallie Wentz##imported-end##
To the family of Chad's,
I knew your son in the most formidable years of my life and please know Chad was truely a pilar of integrity, honor, and inspiration to those around him. He taught me much and I thank you for those influences on him.

But please know I will always honor your memory and as a gesture of true friendship, similar to the many you extended me, I pledge I shall visit you and wish your soul peace. You will never be forgotten my friend, rest well until the time comes you can welcome each of your friends to the peace-filled realm I'm sure you reside. Thank you again.

Chad...my heart goes straight to your mama in all of this. But also to every one of us who got ripped off by not getting enough time with you...When I told Jack about it he said, " Geeze, Dad, there's never enough really good guys in the first place." That about sums it up. I'm not gonna embarrass you by getting too mushy, so Good bye, Chad- You always were a really good guy... -Martin##imported-begin##Martin Shaughnessy##imported-end##
Dear Cheryl,
Although I have never met you, Chad spoke of you many times. I would always say to him "when I'm ready to sell my house, I'm calling your Mom!" He was a good friend to me and I miss him terribly. He was always the perfect gentleman and so full of life, I enjoyed his enthusiasm immencely.##imported-begin##Susan Townsend##imported-end##
My husband, Dan, and I are friends with Shannon. We did not know Chad. However, I have a brother and sister. I could not imagine what it would be like to lose either one of them. Please know, you are in our thoughts.
