Chad R. Boeckers

Your presence will be missed but not forgotten. You’ll live forever in our hearts and thoughts.

I am glad to have met Chad through Brian and Jeff. There are many memories I have from being the little tag along sister of Shana and yet always being Welcome in Chad and Brian’s Apartment. Last time I saw Chad was at Shana and Jeff’s wedding and he was one of the few who congradulated me on my speech!! Thanks Chad! We Will All Miss You! 🙂
Love, Michelle*

Chad, when we first met you through Tony, Jeff and Brian we knew right away that you were an amazing person. We were always amazed by how kind and thoughtful you were towards everyone you knew. Your actions will forever be a reminder of how we hope to live our lives. I will always remember the giant smile on your face just before I tossed the garter at my wedding, when you said to me, “shoot it to the right, I’m next anyways!” Sure enough, all I had to do was get it close and you were bound to come up with it. Chad, you were a great person and we will forever miss you. With love, Cory and Sarah.

To the Master of the sky hook and sincerest smile

Chad was, and will be remembered as a true friend!

Dear Ralph, Jan, Craig and Amy,
Our apologies for typing “Greg” instead of Craig in our guestbook entry. Only God know why!
Love Norm and Judy

Dear Ralph, Jan, Greg and Amy,
Our hearts are broken and we feel an emptiness and numbness in our life with the loss of Chad. With our feelings we can only guess how deep the pain and sorrow is in your hearts. We pray that God will show you the way to healing and peace. We will forever miss Chad’s smile and playfulness. Brett, Cyndy and Madison left today and we could see in Brett’s eyes and hear in his voice the loss that he is feeling. We are here and always will be for you. The prayer request we sent out to the National Board of Worldwide Marriage Encounter has generanted countless prayers for your family and the Torkelson’s. Our prayers continue for your healing and peace.
Love, Norm and Judy

Ralph and Janet – I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. I know the comfort of your family and friends, and the love of your church community, will help you through this difficult time. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I can’t even begin to explain how much better my life has been because of Chad. He was my best friend when I first moved to Minnesota and remained one of my best friends every single day for 18 years. One of the amazing things about Chad was that in 18 years of friendship, we were never mad at eachother, even through all our competitive years of playing sports and video games until three in the morning every summer night in his basement. It’s because he was so humble about how great he really was at everything and you couldn’t help but to have fun with Chad and all his crazy quirks! He was the perfect friend.
Chad was simply the most lovable guy I knew – his caring spirit and big heart were unmatched. Everyone wanted to be around Chad and he brightened their day every time he was there. I pray that he will find his peace and I know God will take care of both him and Tina together forever. I will miss Chad dearly the rest of my life because I know we would have gotten together every chance we could, just like it always has been.
Thanks for the countless memories and good times, Chad. You were truly a once-in-a-lifetime friend and I will never have another friend affect my life so much as you did. Rest in peace as I know you will and I will see you again someday.

Miss you and love you,
Brett

Chad, you are a great friend who will truely be missed. I don’t know where I would be if it weren’t for your support during school, particularly during college algebra. Thanks buddy. To his family, my prayers are with you.

Chad was a very nice man, he will be missed!

Our thoughts are with you during this difficult time. Much love to you.

Jan, Ralph and family—
Words cannot express the devastation you must be feeling– I have lump in my throat that will not go away after watching the pictoral tribute—
Be good to one another and know that we care deeply—
Much love, The Baden’s

Ralph, Jan, Craig and Steph and Tom and Amy, Words cannot express how deeply sorry we are for all of you, please know that we are thinking of you everyday and will pray for you to find some kind of peace with your loss. We knew Chad as a kind and gentle and quiet person and that is how we will remember him. God bless all of you. Love, Byron and Deanna.

Chad, may you find the peace that you lost in life. We hope that your family will eventully be able to fill the emptyness that you left behind. You all will be in our prayers.

Chad,
Thanks for being a great friend to our son Chris. We will always remember your gentle, warm smile, and also the way you dominated in the city basketball league championship game. May you rest in peace.

Jan, Ralph, Craig, Amy and the rest of the family,
Our love and prayers go out to you at this especially difficult time. The pain and confusion that you must be feeling is impossible for us to comprehend, but we hope that you will find comfort in the peace and love of God, which also surpasses all understanding.

Our prayers and love are with all of you during this time and always. May you find the needed strength, in the weeks and months to follow from God and the family and friends who love you. We are thinking of you always. Chad will be missed.

Dear Ralph and Janet,
I am so sorry for the loss of your son. I too lost my daughter 11 years ago and Ralph was so kind to be the officer who helped me. I will remember you in my prayers and ask that you find some peace with this now. If there is anything that I can do just ask. I used to babysit Craig and Amy on occasion many years ago. Take care now and God Bless you all.

May you rest in peace, buddy. The Best Friend I could have ever asked for. God simply does not make creations more spectacular than you. At 6’6″, absolutely the gentlest of giants. I hope that your afterlife is filled with an endless supply of Friends and Chipotle Burritos. Thank you for the thousands upon thousands of happy memories. Truly the best of the best. I will miss you.

Dear Boecker Family, My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this very sad time. Chad was a wonderful person to work with in the cathlab. He will be dearly missed. God Bless you all. Love, Roberta

Dear Boeckers:During this difficult time, reach out to Him and know He will take your hand and give you the courage to face another day. Amen

Ralph, Jan and family – Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this very difficult time. Please let us know if there is anything that we can do. Chad will be missed in our family. God Bless.

Dear Boeckers family, My thoughts and daily prayers will be with you and your family during this difficult time. Sandy B.
