Chad had a wonderful sense of humor and found great joy in teasing others. He loved the Lord of the Rings, Shrek, anything with dragons, camping, snow shoeing, traveling, his dogs and was known as a great mountain man.
He worked as a truck driver in his younger years and then found his greatest joy in landscaping. His talent with gardening flowers and beautification was renowned and he even had the opportunity to work for famous people through the years.
He loved the desert being in the outdoors and even traveled by handcart from California to Florida.
He is survived by his wife, Roxie Lee Denny, his daughter, Maleena Raquel Stevens, his son-in-law, Trey Stevens and his most precious joy, his grandson Mason Stevens.
