"Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans" - John Lennon
A charismatic, quirky individual, Chad chose to live his life on his own terms. In addition to his talents as an educator, he was an accomplished drummer and performed locally in several bands. His greatest talent was finding enjoyment and solace in the simple pleasures of life. Through his work as a teacher, he positively impacted hundreds of children and shared his love of animals, nature, and learning. John Lennon once said, "Love is a promise, love is a souvenir, once given never forgotten, never let it disappear." Thank you, Chad for giving us the greatest gift: 41 years of lovable, crazy YOU! We love you more than you will ever know.
Chad is survived by his mother, Lindy Ferguson, sisters Gibran and Whitney and wife Kristen. Chad is the uncle to a nephew and two nieces.
