Chad attended school in Seaside, and received a general equivalency diploma.

Chad loved the outdoors and traveling. He had a passion for art, poetry and running, and never backed down from an adventure.

He had a smile that would light up the room, always leaving you feeling better about yourself.

You would often find Chad skateboarding down the street, or posting some photo of him in a new place on a new quest.

Chad would always ask how everyone was doing and never ended a call without telling you how much he loved you.

In addition to his father and stepmother, Chad is survived by two children, Dawson English, of Seaside, and Emma Ryan; his three brothers, Adam English, of Seaside, James English, of Astoria, and Korben English, of Seaside; his nephews, Shawn English, of Forest Grove, Payton English, of Warrenton, Jordan English, of Seaside, and Aiden Smith, of Richland, Washington; and niece, Cali English of Forest Grove.
