 Chad was a man of many talents, including percussion and working complex tech and electronic projects, and was inspired to always learn something new. He was passionate about astronomy and made a trip to see the solar eclipse, which made him very emotional as he watched in awe and wonder. Chad was a big fan of supporting the Illini basketball and football teams as well as his beloved St. Louis Cardinals.

 Chad was always known to have a smile on his face and cherished the moments he shared making memories with others. He never complained about anything, no matter the magnitude of adversity he was experiencing. He so loved kids and making them laugh, especially with his Barney impersonation.

 Memorials may be made to the Chad Wilsey Memorial Fund at any local Longview Bank.

 Services will be held at a later date.
