The Chad Story
 
 

"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 mind, and a healthy body - 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. It was a glorious, sunny 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. . ." 
Chad Alan Butrum, 1967-1994
