Chad Rothgeb Obituary

I've never met Chad in person, but he'd already been around in the j-body community for years before I found it. He inspired me and gave incredible recommendations that I'll never forget. He was a great guy. I'm keeping his memory alive with things I bought from him, and recipes he sent to me. I just wish I could have met him. RIP Chad, and fly high.

My sympathy goes out to the family Ashley and Angie also so sorry for your ladies lost of your brother

Going to miss the laughs we had. Hope your no longer in any pain sir.

Chad will be greatly missed . His tenacious outhoinh , generous soul will be missed. His love will continue to live on through his friends and family. Chad was not only a great person, father but family and he will be missed by so many.Fly high brother , we love and Miss you.

So sorry for your loss Chad was a great friend. He and I went to high school together had some good times.

A group chat of like minded car guys is where I met Chad. I really wish I got to meet him in person... he offered me a lot of advice on my project car and always told it straight up, never sugar costing things... a true legend!!

My heartfelt condolences extend to his kids, fiance and other close family and friends he will be sorely missed by everyone who knew him!! Fly High Chad

Rest in peace to one of the best, we may have never met, but the knowledge you shared along the way, and the friendships formed with you, or because of you will be remembered and cherished for eternity

To the family, may all of these beautiful messages be passed along to you, knowing Chad was loved by many far and wide

-Your Canadian Jbody brother

Chad was always happy to help his friends in the car scene. Quality guy all around.

Chad was a wonderful person. He will be missed by so many myself included. Cars are something we always bonded over. Im going to miss our photoshop paint jobs. I hope to see you again someday. Fly high.

May you forever ride high in the sky. You'll be missed in the forum

I've have only gotten to meet him once in person, although we have been Facebook friends for years. But Chad was an awesome guy, with amazing skills behind everything he did. He was a major inspiration to many not only in the car community but as a person to look up to and be like in life. A true role model. Sending love and prayers out to his family. He will be missed greatly. (Pictures of his car from the 2016 J-Body Bash where we met. I wish we had a picture of us together, we had on the same exact Chevy shirt that day)

I knew Chad through his J-body.org. posts, and later Facebook groups, where I admired Chad's passion for cars, creativity, and fun along with his dedication as a family man! Chad will be missed in the Jbody and car communities, and remembered for years to come! My prayers to you all! Long live laying frame in a lowrider Cavalier!

Gonna miss you my dude. Never gonna forget you and how passionate you were about what you did. You´ll always leave a lasting impression on me and I´m honored to have had as good of a friend as you in my life.

Chad was an amazing guy. We bonded over cars but had lots of discussions about life, love, relationships, parenthood, and countless other topics over the years. He used his talents to help create a one-of-a-kind ukulele for my daughter that she absolutely loves. He was taken from us way too soon. Rest easy Chad and my condolences to his family and friends.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

I never got to meet Chad in person but he was a great source of knowledge and inspiration for all in the Jbody community from his home to abroad whenever a Jbody could be found. He will be missed!

My condolences to everyone who's lives Chad touched! This great man will be missed by many

I was saddened to hear of Chad's passing. Although I never had the pleasure of meeting him in person, we spoke for several years through facebook and the legendary j-body.org. I met him through our mutual love of the J-body (Cavalier). I got to know him pretty well over the years and became good friends. We would talk about cars, family, and life in general. I always knew I could trust him and felt as though I could tell him anything, really. My condolences and heart go out to his children and all of his entire family and friends. Chad, you were a real one and one hell of a great man. I am proud to have known you and will always remember you with incredible contentment and love in my heart. Rest in peace, brother. -From "Z Yaaaa" (Brad Wheeler)

My condolences to rhe family and friends of Chad. He was one of the most innovative and unique automotive fabricators that I've ever known and was a huge asset to the communities that he was involved in. R.I.P. dude...

Chad will be greatly missed my condolences go out to my sister Morgan and all of his family this is truly heartbreaking

It is hard to put into words how much Chad was to me. He wasn´t just a nephew, he was a son! Anytime I needed help, he was there for me bringing his friends too! I was there for the good, the bad and the ugly of times we go thru in life but we always had each other´s back! That was how he was. He loved his family and friends and made his friends his "family ". My heart hurts as I miss the texts and calls already but I know his pains are over and he is fishing somewhere with family and friends who met him as he passed.

What a little slugger!

Many great memories in my youth with Jessica and Chad, he will be missed. Sending love to his children and family.
