To Melissa and Chad'* family,

Words can't express how sorry I am for your loss, he'* in God'* keeping now and nothing can ever hurt him again.

Folks, this is indeed a horrible horrible thing. And Chad was in our thoughts. Behind the scenes was brewing another Pay it Forward effort like we did for Ben and Hans.

Paul, our Chatroom Admin was going to spearhead the effort. The Forum coding was just completed last night by Jeff Keacher for the effort. Paul wanted to get a care package to him in Iraq from all of us.

My thoughts and prayers go out to all his family and friends.

From a former Marine, Godspeed Chad.

My heart sank when I saw this topic as I logged on this morning, knowing in an instant the sad news that would no doubt be found.
The loss of loved ones in death is the most terrible pain I've yet to experience,my heart goes out to all who are touched by this loss.

Wow...

Little lost for words right now.

You did good Chad, we're proud of you brother, and you're safe now.

RIP

My condolances to you and chads family even though I did not know him I prey for all ouir men / women over there putting their lifes on the line everyday..

R.I.P. Chad

This is horrible news. My condolences to Melissa and Chad'* family. I for one enjoyed his posts and thought he brought a lot into our family. He will be missed by all of us here.

I read this a while ago & I'm truly at a loss for words. Tears come to my eyes just thinking how heartbreaking this has to be for Melissa & Chad'* family.

It'* been said already. I too looked forward to his postings, and now...nothing.

Rest In Peace Chad.

I have read this thread maybe, fifty times. I still do not really know what to say. Condolences to family and friends. RIP.

My condolences to the family and friends. You know, this is kinda one of those things you see on tv, but you never really think it could happen to someone you know. Chad was a good person, and will be dearly missed.
