Born in Hillsboro, Oregon, November 19, 1983, and raised in Waco, Texas, Chad graduated from China Spring High School in 2002 before continuing his education at the University of North Texas. He had a boundless passion for traveling and adventure, having visited destinations like Mexico, Brazil, Costa Rica, and many places across the United States, including California, Sedona Arizona, Colorado, and North Carolina.

His last decade was devoted to his work at Reclaim Wellness, a company he founded to help individuals combat illnesses through holistic and spiritual healing methods. His company’s mantra, "Stop fighting your illness and start feeding your wellness," reflects his approach to care—ensuring each client felt seen and heard.

An avid outdoorsman, Chad loved scuba diving, camping, and simply being in nature, where he felt most at peace. His deep spirituality was evident in his holistic healing methods and his everyday interactions with those around him.

Chad was preceded in death by his grandparents, Raymond and Barbara Redding, and John Kalmbach.

He is survived by his parents, Wayne and Karen Redding; his brothers, Joshua Redding and his wife, Katherine, and Branson Redding and his wife, Kayla; along with numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends who are like family.
