Oh my goodness. This is shocking and horrible news. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

I am truly sorry to hear this news about Chad. I have always enjoyed his posts and PMs regarding various topics, not only coins. He will be missed here in our forums and my thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.

 

God Bless,

This is unbelievable. I had shared scores upon scores of private messages with Chad and he was a very good person who was learning so much in life.

This is a terrible loss, and I feel for his family.

 

When I had my YN Christmas giveaway two years ago, Chad got a box for his (then) 10 year old cousin. He sent me a nice thank you note, and also explained how he had repackaged everything in a nice box, and put "From: Uncle Bob" on the gift tag. Made my day.

 

 

He will be missed.

I just did a double take with his age after rereading the web notice.

 

Death at 17 or at any young age is both shocking and sad.

 

 

[cpm9ball]

This is such sad and shocking news. Sometimes I just can't understand why life can be so cruel and unfair.

 

My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

[gmarguli]

Very shocking and sad. I never realized he was so young.

I saw the news across the street and was totally shocked. Over the years I have had many PMs with Chad and have bought several coins from him and sold him a few. He was a great young man with a great sense of humor and I will miss him dearly.

 

Guys we have lost a great coin collector and friend of these boards that will leave a void in our hearts for a long time.

[rrantique]

Such sad and heartbreaking news. He will be missed dearly. Thoughts and prayers go out to all who Knew him. God Bless Chad gone but not forgotten.

Holy smokes. This is very terrible and sad news indeed. I thought the title was going to go into something humorous. Very shocking. My deepest congolences go out to his family!!! I enjoyed Chads humor and input here on the boards. He will be missed dearly!!

[Mark T]

This is awful , he was only 17 . This is very sad news.

[tejas1836]

I only knew Chad through this forum. I was surprised to learn that he was so young. He could say a lot in just a few words. This is both sad and tragic. My heart goes out to his family.

[Revenant]

Forgive the bluntness of the question but... What the hell happened?

 

What "brief illness" takes out a 17 year old kid like that?

[michael]

my sincere sympathy to his family

[IGWT]

Chad's passing really pulled me up short. So sad. Deepest sympathies to his family.

[ldhair]

My goodness. Way to young. Best wishes to the family.

[WinstonWare]

I'm at a loss for words...

[RUSS BEGA]

My god, I was shocked when i read this on coin talk and had to see if it was really true. Chad was a great guy to have a chat with, i had no idea he was 17 and i'd had several PM's with him. He will be very missed....

 

RIP Chad, looks like heavens got a Numismatist angel now....

[James_OldeTowne]

Absolutely, thoroughly shocking and stunning!!!!!!!!!!

 

I had a number of transactions with Chad and have nothing but good things to say about him!

 

Very sad day. Simply completely unbelievable.

[Dcoin]

That left me cold... thoughts and prayers to the family.

Hey Chad, I'm really going to miss your comments. You always cut to the crux of the subject. I'm happy to have been able to see your insights on so many discussions. If I saw a Munkeyman comment, I would always pay attention.

 

Any passing leaves pauses and moments of reflection. Thank you for what you have shared. You have made all of us richer by your knowledge and comments.

 

Rest well. See you on the other side.

Wow, don't know what to say. 17 is way too young to leave this life.

 

RIP Chad.
