Many of you have already heard the news that our beloved Chad has passed away. Words can hardly capture the love, laughter, and light he brought into the lives of all those around him.

Many of you have reached out asking how you can support Dawn and honor Chad’s life. Chad shared two wishes that were very important to him.

First, he wanted Dawn to be able to live life fully and continue doing the things they loved together. He hoped she could move through this transition without added financial burden—whether that’s paying bills, celebrating his life, or creating space for healing and new beginnings. As Chad always said, “Go Big or Go Home.” He wanted Dawn and the family to go big and keep loving life.

Second, Chad dreamed of taking Mom to Disneyland once he beat cancer. Dawn promised him she would make that trip happen, and she plans to fulfill that wish in his honor.

Instead of flowers and meals, we are setting up a few options for those who feel called to give financially to help support Dawn and carry out these wishes. While nothing can replace Chad, these gestures help honor his memory and the life he lived.

Thank you for your prayers, love, and support during this incredibly difficult time. We are deeply grateful to be surrounded by such a caring community.
