It's a struggle to write in just a few lines about the extraordinary life that our son, Chad Strohmeyer led. He was the shining light of our life and one of our greatest accomplishments.
We want to honor our Superhero, who we know is now busy on his Star Wars-like journey in the afterlife. Chad was a charmer who crashed a wedding of people he didn't know and ended up best friends with the bride.
He was an all-star south-paw pitcher and right-handed golfer, who was the base commander's ringer on the course at Misawa AB, Japan.
Chad loved fishing, Cubs baseball, working out, golf, Milky Way candy bars, big cities, night life, plain cheeseburgers, country music, Braum's plain vanilla ice cream & spending time laughing with his family. He lived a 1000 lifetimes, in his 31 years.
