Chad loved the outdoors, hunting, fishing, and camping. He enjoyed watching his Miami Dolphins, his 2 cats Cutie Patuti and Lil’man, and fixing up and cleaning his cars/SUV’s. He was full of love and care for anyone who knew him. He would give you the shirt off his back; He will always be special to us.

Chad spent of most his life in the kitchen; he called himself “Beast” and you couldn’t tell him any different.

He leaves behind his wife, Tonya Snyder, his 2 cats, his mother, Barbara Urban, his father, John Bright Sr, 2 brothers, Eric and John Jr. Also, stepdaughter, Cayli, stepson Kyle, step-sister Brittany, step-grandchildren, 2 nieces Hanna and Regan, a nephew, and many friends.

Chad will be missed greatly; however, he will never be forgotten and will forever shine light in our hearts!
