Chad was a son, father, brother, husband, nephew, grandson and uncle.  He was a proud West Virginia coal miner.  Anyone who knew him would say he was the life of the party with his fun loving spirit and famous one-liners like, "This ain't no picnic bitch" "I'll be the bad guy," and "I'm here to fuck shit up."  He didn't just make people smile, he made everyone around him laugh out loud.  He was fearless, silly, tough and protective over those he loved and cared about.  He was also a member of the Ohio Valley Chapter Flawless Bikerz Motorcycle Club.

​

Chad was loved by many and the hole that was left in our hearts when he was needlessly taken away from us may never heal. It is in his memory we raise awareness, even if only to encourage drivers to take a second look while sharing the road with a biker, so that other families don't have to experience the same loss.
