As you know, our brother Thad was tragically taken from us. We are asking for your help in taking care of some of the things that come out of a horrible situation like this.

Thad was a man with a huge heart. He loved people. Above everything else Thad believed in family, both the people you start with and the ones you make along the way. Thad touched so many lives, made friends and family wherever he went. He was the most loyal person we have ever known.

Here are Thad's own words. I doubt anyone could say it better. 

"The only truly important thing in life is family. Blood and chosen. Enjoy their company. Tell them you love them. Give them a hug. Life is crazy, you never you never know when your ticket will get punched."
