Chad Everett Wagenman was born on January 24, 1974, in Grand Rapids, MI.  Chad was the youngest of three children in the Wagenman household.  Chad grew up and graduated from Grand Haven public high school.  During his high school years, he played trumpet in varsity band and church orchestra.  Outside of school, Chad belonged to Royal Rangers, a boys organization through the Assembly of God church patterned after the Boys Scouts.  Through Royal Rangers, he not only learned Biblical principles, but several camping and outdoor living skills.  Later in life, Chad took up hunting and fishing as hobbies.

 Chad was easy going and always found to be ready to help his friends and neighbors.  It seemed he was always working on somebody’s car.  Hence, not surprising that he would choose a service job as a vocation.  After starting out in commercial construction in MI, his career was mainly that of service manager of car wash/lube facilities in both MI and AZ.  He was efficient, timely, punctual, consistent and honest.

Chad is survived by his son Marcus Taylor Wagenman; his parents Garth and Janice Wagenman; a sister Mrs. Valerie Dawn Ennist (husband-Chris, children-(Michael-Arkansaw), Grace, Brock, Albert) another sister Julie Ann Wagenman (Daughter- Madeline-Florida)
