Chad McCarty had a heart as big as his laughter—steady, warm, and unforgettable. He wasn’t just loved; he was cherished, the kind of person who made life brighter simply by being in it.

From a young age, Chad’s intelligence and curiosity set him apart. He loved to learn, to explore, to find joy in the little things. His kindness ran just as deep. He was always willing to help, always the first to offer a hand, always the one people knew they could count on.

He had a soft spot for animals, especially dogs and birds, treating them with the same love and care he gave to those closest to him. And he had a way of turning simple things into something special—like his handmade soaps, which he gifted to family and friends, small reminders of the love he put into everything he did.

But nothing mattered more to Chad than his family, especially his nephews. He wasn’t just an uncle—he was their best friend, their biggest supporter, the person who made time for them no matter what. His love for them, and for his niece, was boundless, and that love will live on in them forever.

Chad had a way of lighting up a room—not just with his jokes or his smile, but with the way he made people feel. The world is quieter without him, but the love he left behind will never fade.
