He is the 7th of 9 children born to Wayne Hubert and Elma Ileen John Harris. Chad married his sweetheart, Sandra Kay Slade on July 30, 1971. They are the parents of 6 children. Chad was a stone mason in his early working years, assisting in the construction of many buildings across San Juan and Grand Counties, and beyond. He was a skilled craftsman, and took great pride in his work (most of which is still standing, and will be for many years to come.) Later, he worked as a truck driver, logging more than four million miles (the equivalent of 160 times around the earth) before he retired. He was a man of integrity, with a remarkable work ethic.
Faith and family were at the center of Chad’s life. He was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, accepting and fulfilling whatever calls came to him. He was happiest when surrounded by family, and especially when holding a grandchild or great grandchild.
