Obituary of Brad Chard

Chard, Bradley John “Brad” With broken hearts we announce the passing of Brad Chard on June 18th, 2025 after a courageous battle with a rapidly progressive prostate cancer. Predeceased by his parents Bob & Shirley Chard. Devoted husband & best friend to Michele Chard with whom he spent 45 years of marriage. Loving father of Vanessa Chard (George), Stephanie Chard, (Dave), and Robert Chard (Crystal). He will be deeply missed by his grandchildren Kaitlyn, Kristopher, Jozef, Izabella, Ezmae, Summer & Wade. Brad was a kind, quiet, proud man with a huge heart. Brad enjoyed Sunday bike rides with his wife, fishing, camping & old cars. He was his wife's strongest supporter, reminding everyone that he wasn't spoiled when she would bake. He loved big family dinners, going to the drive-in, and spending time with his family. He was my FREDDY & I was his baby. His journey has ended and now he is fishing in the sea of the heavens. Until we meet again Brad — you will always be my Freddy.
