I am Bob Diack, Chandler's Dad, speaking here on behalf of Chandler's entire family. We cannot possibly find the words to express what we are going through right now with the loss of Chandler. He passed away unexpectedly on November 28 and we have received such an outpouring of love and support as the word of his passing has spread. So many requests have been made that we decided we needed to set up a fund to allow all of you generous folks to make donations in honor of my son. He would think that is crazy, but we know that he truly touched everyone he met, regardless of the circumstances.

We have decided to distribute funds donated here to the things we know would matter most to Chandler. We are going to set up a youth baseball scholarship, donate to recovery programs that are meaningful to the family and provide support for Chandler's two children. Details will follow as we have them.

Thanks so much to all of you who have reached out and pushed us to open our hearts to the generosity of everyone who loved Chandler. It is humbling and we think Chan would be really proud.
