Once upon a time there was a grand, strapping young man
named Chad, who loved athletics, history, people, and life.
He believed in nurturing a healthy body, mind and spirit. He
never drank, smoked and was certainly not a druggie. He
was loved by many friends and family members for his
exuberance, optimism, curiosity and joyfulness.
One day he went out to play in his football league in the City of Angels. It
was a glorious, sunny day – a great day for a game. But
God, the grand Coach of Everything, had other plans for his
fair Son, Chad, that day, April 23, 1994, and drafted him to
the Highest Team for a Higher Purpose.
Chad was just 26
years old. This was to be his last game. His last day on
Earth. . .
