Chad, Grace's Boy

This is my son Chad Baughman, he passed away on November 20th, 2019 of a Heroin Carfentynal overdose. He was 29 years old. 

This picture is taken the day he got out of rehab on Nov. 19, 2019… the day before he passed away.   

He was my middle child, he has an older sister and a younger brother who he loved beyond words. 
His 3 little nephews were the light of his life.  
He was the sweetest orneriest little boy.   
He could do anything, he was smart and was an amazing basketball player in high school, played varsity when he was a sophomore.   

He was a Momma’s boy and wasn’t afraid to admit it.  
He was kind, loving and had the sweetest smile and twinkle in his eyes.   

He could do anything except beat the awful addiction, he struggled for about 10 years.... Last year at this time things started getting worse. I know he wanted to beat this, but the drugs are so evil, they had such a hold on him.  

I never knew what heartache and pain was until I lost a child.
