“To the Kauffman Family-- Chad will always hold a fond place in my memories. I will never forget one day after school, I went to the Kauffman household, and Chad and I tried to burn ants on the sidewalk with a magnifying glass! I am not sure how successful we were, but it was fun to play outside and be a kid in the 1980s. With deepest sympathy to your entire family. "Gone from our sight, but not from our minds." Cara (Wheeler) Campbell”

Angela Whetsel wrote a sympathy message

“No matter how long it had been since seeing each other, Chad was always a light of laughter. My favorite childhood memory is in fourth grade singing "I got a little change in my pocket...." We sang the whole song together and annoyed all of those around us but kept on going and laughed the whole time. He recently gave me advice to quit smoking, which was to alternate with a pipe. 😁 I am deeply saddened for all of you. My love prayers and heart-felt sympathy to you all.”
