Chad graduated from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, and served as an intern for U.S. Senator Mark Pryor in Washington, D.C. He ran his own independent insurance agency in Fayetteville, Arkansas, until he returned home to Monticello to assist in management of the family farms.
Chad loved his time spent in the woods camping, white-water rafting, and fishing with his friends - especially those in need. He never met a stranger and loved his family and friends, and will be greatly missed by those touched by his wit, love and kindness.
Chad lost one of his best friends Brian Savage in 2013. In memory of that friendship, you are requested to make donations to the American Heart Association, 909 W. 2nd St., Little Rock, AR 72201.
Interment will be by private service.
