Ive been on this board for 21+ yrs and even tho i never knew Chad on a friendship level like some of my brothers here, these names and personalities are ingrained in my head just like my highschool friends and acquaintances. Too young.
it’s good to see people who have left the forum coming back to pay respect to our friend.
If I had known then what I know now...

Oh no, I am so sorry to hear this sad, sad news. Rollings, I am so sorry for your loss.
Chadwick was so funny and weird in such a good way, and while I only knew him digitally, I really appreciated his existence. That his last days were spent caring for his mom when she needed him most says a lot about what kind of person he was.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata
The night after Chad passed, (Wednesday night) I was reading one of his poems from here and I started to write something . I then wanted to know how many cells are there in a human body, so I was googling it.
Then my phone made a noise like it might when I get two rapid texts in a row.
But it wasn't a text, it was a notification. ..ok..
It said ' your Google search results are ready"
What? ? ? ? I never received a notification like this before.
So I clicked on it and , it was a Google search of 'hello"
"hello" well I certainly did not google hello that day or night on purpose or by accident

Damn! Sorry to hear this.... Chadwick was one of the good guys.
Felt this was appropriate: And wherever you've gone...and wherever we might go... It don't seem fair...today just disappeared... Your light's reflected now,... reflected from afar... We were but stones,... your light made us stars

Hey, D, I'm so sorry for your loss. I didn't know him but I know you and what a wonderful person you are, so for him to be a part of your life means he was a special person. I'm sure I speak for everyone in saying that the community is here for you if you need it.

There's a reason for the vacant obit. Basically, there is nobody in his family that has 2 cents to rub together, literally. Being that I am not official family, the funeral home would not talk/listen to me about his matters at all. So there you have it. Wow, bare boned is right
Like you said , almost fitting

Sorry to read of Chadwicks passing on. I always had to check out his posts. A unique and good character he was. Loving thoughts go out to Rollings and everyone feeling his absence.
I only knew chadwick just through the board over the years and am terribly saddened to read of his tragic passing. Thoughts are with everyone who knew him ❤
Ron: I just don't feel like going out tonight
Sammi: Wanna just break up?
Didn’t know him. Just getting to read his posts from people reposting in old threads. My heart goes out to Rollings and those who knew and loved him. May he get to be front row at every PJ show in the future, in spirit and the hearts of those in attendance.
Peace,Love and Pearl Jam.

Wait a minute, I'm not on here as often as I used to be in the past. However, are we talking Chadwick who I believe at one time had double knee replacement?
Holla back with answer please.

Oh my goodness, I'm finding this hard to believe. Here he is trying to help his mother through a terrible disease and this happens. He is/was one down to earth PJ brother, I really liked his posts, years ago they kept me captivated on here.
I'm doing the very same thing for my mother up here in MD from FL. Trying to do all i can for her in her fight just like he did. Well wherever he is I hope he strikes up a conversation with our other passed on poet Pandora. That's a site to be seen right there.
My prayers and positive thoughts are all for the family as they're grieving this sudden loss. Rest peacefully Chadwick, rest peacefully.
Peace

November 2012
and so the harpsichords played
sounding like butterflies and desperate hands of silk
the fluttering so gentle
the chaos so simple
the sounds so delightful yet dangerous and simply out of tune rather quickly
the notes lost alongside each piece of pain
as if insane to the wolves challenging moonlight or raindrops
and again this is her sounding ride
she will take all of me inside of her as if the lake ancient and drowning her and i
ages have flew
cages have sunk beneath
this our love locked lips
our goals
our glooming city of no name
the titleless environment
still beautiful in sound
one's ears have a chance to escape run away
or simply stay put
ride the shadow of stillness
empty your minds and explore the foundation of plenty through empty
and so when the daily newspaper print many vacancies
the sound heard will be bach & handel
water music on choirs
against every altar
with blasting rituals
some with blood & bones
horns & collective clovers from the nearby wood
here some tiny mushrooms gather in great numbers taking over
as if a stump of hickory or oak
sometimes barbwire feels like rubbing me down in laughter
again without ability to movement & have
i am torn to bits as pleasure fills with sound
old and new fingers
age and the end
youth & the maze of life
the ear blood the surprise
the again the picture the free & the desperate coin begging to be spent
the eaten bread
soup cold and ready
sound sound harpsichord sound
lost sound
wilderness pain & sun filled blankets cover each stool
present or void of serpent
the hungry worm
rotten apple tree & rainbow of a homeward bound trail
somehow our meeting of a sexual nature was spoiled to the core
yet as beautiful as personalized envelopes struggle for our opening
yours with mine inside
sword to the wound
blood to the brace
uplifted hips to my lips
cups of tea the musical taste of following love
simple honeybees gathered next to harpsichords out in the wilds
the fragrant pillows they spoke here
said were our skin
spoken were our souls
the next daisies were up
all the colors budding to the sounds
each piece was at peace
your lips my ending where i died
your mouth that took my very life
no safety net holding us tight
and in this picture old men collected our senses at the foot of this insane instrument
the mind of its own
the wizard of sound
the ride of carnival
and of each one a lover to the other
all of you and all of me between the miles compressed into a few solid inches
warmed by a furnance of earth, stones, twigs, light & ash
and in this unseeded garden you can only imagine the chances of glorious rides
touch and taste
and the feeling of sound
