    Julie and family – My heart just aches for you with the passing of Chad. It reaches too close to home as I am still grieving the lost of my fiance just 8 months ago. I know what you are going through so if you just need someone to talk to, please give me a call. I will continue to lift you up in my prayers. Rest in Peace, Chad Woodall !

    Chad, we could never find enough words to thankyou for how much you did for us…but like you always said “that’s what family does”. You will be missed, but like they always say “he only takes the best”. Isn’t that the truth…rest easy.
    With love,
    Kari, Kristi, Jaedyn, Caleb & Evan

    My heart is breaking! Chad was a wonderful man & I am beyond grateful to have known him, cared for him, and to have had him in my life.

    Even when he was frustrating, his smile could light up a room, and he had the most amazing way of making you feel as though everything would be ok.

    He worked hard, joked often, and loved his kids beyond everything else in life!

    The world will be a darker place without him, but heaven has gained the best angel!

    My prayers go out to Carter, Chloe, and his entire family. He truly loved each and every one of you!

    Although we did not know Chad personally, we do know his mother, Julie, and his grandparents, Jim and Janet Stramer. We are deeply sorry for your loss and after reading his obituary we know he was truly a wonderful young man, who was taken from his family much too soon. May you be comforted in knowing that he is with his Lord and Savior and that you will someday all meet again. God Bless and Keep you in His tender loving care.

    I’m so so terribly sorry for your loss chad was one of a kind he was great friend,awesome worker, and a super family man. Chad was a man of courage and being able to take whatever life threw at him. We will miss him stopping in whenever with his spunkiness and getting old grouchie beef to help him with something he had to fix or something he broke from driving til the axle fell off boy he was a character who will never be forgotten but was the most loyal friend a person could have. God bless everyone.
    Sincerely,
    Beef and Carie
