Chad Evan Andrew Townson

To so many people, Chad was a partner, a father, a son, grandson, uncle, nephew, cousin, and friend. Or the guy who could talk endlessly about all the typical nerdy things you can think of. But to Shelby and I, he was our big brother. Chad was protective of us in a way only a big brother can be. I’m pretty sure his exact saying was “no one’s allowed bully you or beat you up… because that’s my job” But Chad always had our back when it mattered tho. Growing up with Chad was exactly what you’d expect from having an older brother but maybe… with a little “extra spice”. We gave him wedgies, he gave us swirlies, we called him pepper head, he called me the lost princess of the islands that they adopted along that way. we... or I smashed a golf club in a car window and blamed it on Chad. -Allegedly. We fought.. a lot. But at the end of the day, Chad was our brother But more than anything, Chad loved his family. He adored Stephanie, his partner of 15 years, And his greatest role was being Zoe’s dad. The love he had for Zoe was endless, and she was the light of his life. Chad’s story doesn’t end here, it lives on in Zoe. I hope you know, Chad, that no matter how much we fought, I always loved you and you will forever be my big brother.

My sincerest condolences to all whom Chad held close to his heart! Chad lived in my neighborhood as a young boy and played with my son, Kodie! They later hooked up and the friendship didn’t skip a beat! When I again meet Chad and was introduced to Stephanie, and Zoe, he couldn’t have been a prouder partner and dad and the same incredibly kind, respectful, and bubbly guy! Rest easy beautiful soul!

Chad was our first grandson and a joy forever. He was a loving boy and a wonderful adult. He cherished all of his family and valued them all. He was an amazing young father to Zoe and partner to Steph and a wonderul uncle to his nieces and nephews. Grandpa and Nannie are heartbroken and despondent, but grateful for the years and wonderful times we had together.
