Chad Udall Edwards was taking from us way too soon (07/01/2024) leaving his son Egypt Edwards, two brothers Derrick Edwards and Vince Edwards, nephew Dylan Edwards and niece Brittney Mejico Edwards. For everyone who knew Chad as I did (despite Chad’s addiction) knows that he was a great person who would do anything for anybody it did not matter if you were rich or poor Black or white Chad would be there for you; moreover, if you needed to go to battle Chad is the one you would want to be on your side and by your side. Chad and I have been on many adventures together and one of those adventure is the journey that located Chad to Seattle. Chad and I our originally from Los Angeles California I came to Seattle Washington to work for Boeing bringing Chad with me. I will never forget Chad and I meeting these two girls and they took us to Gas-Works-Park Chad and I had a blast that night and on the way home (back to the apartment) Chad stated to me “Derrick I Love you but if you ever move – I’m staying in Seattle Washington – I love it here this is my new home” and to Chad’s words, Washington state was his new home and the home he will be laid to rest. I will miss Chad as we all will – Chad I know you are in Heaven with Mom and Dad (Flo and Hal) looking down on your family protecting us as we go through the journey of life – I will love you Chad forever and I miss you – your Brother Derrick Edwards

September 1, 2024 at 9:02 pmI knew Chad from high school, Don Lugo, in Chino, Ca. He was something else, an absolute character. He loved Ska music, always laughing and making everyone around him laugh. He called himself Mr. Wonderful, and he was. We had the best times; some of my best memories from HS involve Chad. He never met a stranger; everyone adored him; I can close my eyes and see him walking around with his pinned pants, flight jacket, and glasses. Chad was bigger than life. I knew Chad before addiction and for a short time at the beginning of that horrible chapter of his life but we lost touch. I feel for his child, I hope he grows up being told the best of Chad stories. I have so many of them. I will never forget the best of Chad Edwards.
Godspeed my friend, you have always been in my heart.

July 13, 2024 at 3:04 amI’m saddened to learn your son has lost his father far too soon, Chad. My condolences to your family. May all who knew Chad celebrate that your paths crossed and pause to reflect on and honor the slice of Chad’s spirit you hold close in your memories. Inside each of us is that little girl or little boy we once were – the innocence and possibilities. I knew Chad through someone close to him, heard parts of his fire fighting experience and his dreams from that time; and saw his desire to make a living during times that were very challenging. What amazed me was the wide group of friends and/or people Chad knew and could call on, and who called on him, no matter the time of day or circumstance. My hope is that Chad found a place of peace within himself, as well as self-love, for Chad definitely deserved both. Chad had a good heart and he certainly was resilient. Your brother mentioned your parents – Flo and Hal – you’d expressed such love, admiration and fondest memories of them, especially of your Mom. She held such grace and beauty in your life – may you be reunited and embraced in that golden glow of a loving mother’s love. Be at peace, Chad, whatever love-filled realm your spirit and life essence finds you in, while we celebrate all that brought you joy.

It’s hard to find good friends like you in this messed up world. To your family, I will keep you all in my prayers through this grieving time. 🙏 Chad is in heaven. 😇 I know this is my heart. I hope that gives you a little comfort. I love you Chad! Rest easy buddy…
