Funeral services are to be held at 2pm on monday at New Georgia Baptist Church near Villa Rica, GA. Visitation is from 4 until 8 on Sunday at Clarke Funeral Home in Hiram, GA. The family has asked that no flowers be sent and instead, donate the money to Chad's niece Alyssa for her cancer treatment. She is Chad's sister's daughter. She is 4 years old and has a tumor around her brain stem.
This family has really been through hell over the past three months. Please pray for them. They need it badly!

Death was ruled an accident. He had a heat stroke and passed out. The fire got out of control and consumed him. I'm still just in shock and horror. Nightmares are made of this!

I'd like to take a moment to say thank you to all of those who have prayed for this family. They are truely broken right now and I am not sure how they are dealing with this at all. I am having alot of trouble and struggling with everything I have ever believed and he was not even my real son, though I felt like he was. Tragic is not even the word to describe this, I don't know if there is one.

My prayers are with you.

I have a feeling this wasn't an accident though.

I am very sad to hear of this terrible event - you and your friends have suffered so much, and we're thinking about you.

The only thing I can suggest that might be some support is Compassionate Friends. They're a support group composed entirely of parents and other relatives in families who have lost children. They have both local groups and online moderated chats for support. They might be people your friends could bear to talk to...

I am so sorry. I'll be praying for Chad's family and friends.

You are in my thoughts and prayers. I know exactly what you are feeling and you are right there are no words. Both of my parents

were murdered (brutally stabbed multiple times) during a burglary gone bad. My Aunt (my dads older sister, 80 at the time) walked in to find them the day after it happened. She too will never get that image out of her mind and it was 9 years ago last January. We were not able to have a viewing because it was so horrible. My older brother

who was born with CP died of a heart attack 2.5 months after my parents murder, the stress of the whole thing was more then his frail body could handle. We buried him on his 51st birthday. He loved parties so we thought he would like for all of his friends to be there to celebrate his life.
It is like a nightmare you want to wake up from. I still to this day do not understand. There was no closier because we never got to say good bye. Not a day goes by that something will flash back the memory but with time it gets a little bit easier. We all handle grief differently. I talked about it ALOT to anyone who would listen. It shook up the whole city so everyone knew about it. In a way it was keeping them alive.

I sincerely hope and pray for both of your families and for Chads 4 yr old little sister and that she makes a full recovery. I am a childhood cancer survivor. Will be 40 years in July since my first bought (have had 3). So miracles do happen.

The question is WHY Does this stuff happen at all and to the good people? We will never know. I to question my beliefs sometimes.

I have learned that often times we take life and our loved ones for granted. One never knows what a new day will bring. So with that said, tell the ones you love, I LOVE YOU. And hold them tight. You never know.

Wishing you, your family, and Chad's family the best, and keeping you all in my thoughts. This sort of thing is too devastating for words to properly portray. Know that we are here when you need to vent your feelings. I am sure it will be a very long time before it doesn't hurt so badly, and in the meantime all you can do is try to live one minute, hour, or day at a time.
