Donation protected
On May 1, 2025, we experienced an irreplaceable loss with the sudden and heartbreaking passing of our dear colleague and friend, Chandler Pugh. His departure came far too soon and has left a profound void in the hearts of all who knew him.
Chandler was a devoted husband to Cassidy and a proud, loving father to their one-year-old son, Baker. His unwavering love for his family was evident in every aspect of his life. Chandler’s presence brought warmth, joy, and a sense of calm to those around him. He had an extraordinary ability to make others feel seen, heard, and genuinely valued—through his laughter, loyalty, and everyday acts of kindness.
To many, Chandler was more than a friend—he was a constant source of support and light. His compassion and positivity touched countless lives, and his legacy of love and generosity will remain with us always. Chandler was truly one of the best among us, and the depth of his absence is immeasurable.
In this time of sorrow, we are holding close to the cherished memories he leaves behind and the lasting impact of his spirit. To honor Chandler’s life and to support his beloved Cassidy and Baker during this unimaginable transition, we have created a GoFundMe page. Contributions will go toward essential living expenses, childcare, and the ongoing support this young family will need as they navigate life without Chandler.
We thank you for your generosity—whether through a donation, sharing this message, or simply keeping Chandler’s memory alive in your heart. If you had the privilege of knowing him, you understand the depth of his care and kindness. Now, we have a chance to reflect that same compassion back to the people he loved most.
