Neenah- Chad J. Esslinger, passed away unexpectedly at home October 26, 2020.
Chad was born April 30, 1970 to Darla (Dey) and Gary Esslinger.
Chad (Chadvick) was a man of strong conviction and through that conviction, family and
friends were always first. His inner circle would often refer to him as the man, the myth,
the l egend because of his many abilities and compassion. He could build you a home,
repair your vehicle, negotiate a contract, and provide you the l argest shoulder to l ean
on.
Those that knew him will never forget him and he will always be etched i n our heart,
mind and soul. There are very few i ndividuals that are able to make such an i mpression
and Chad had that unique ability. We will miss you our brother and will see you on the
other side.
He will be sorely missed by his mother, Darla, stepfather, Tom Dey, brother Shawn
(Cheryl), his children: Amber, Devin (Jessica), Jacob, and Hailey (Brett Anderson), and
his grandchildren: Sophia, Ava, Caydance, and Benson Chad. Other survivors i nclude
grandmother Germaine Esslinger, niece Aarika, aunts, uncles, cousins, and many good
friends.
Preceding Chad i n death were his father Gary Esslinger, sister Tracy Jo, grandparents
Lefty and Marge Wolfgram, and grandpa Carl (Bud) Esslinger.
A celebration of l ife for Chad will be held on a date to be announced.
