Chay was a very sweet, humble and loving young man. He enjoyed fishing, hunting, video games, camping and playing with legos, especially policemen and firemen sets. He always said he wanted to be a policeman or fireman when he grew up. Chay was a good student and his favorite time of the school day was his bible class. He also enjoyed riding the four wheeler with his brother, swimming in the pool, monster trucks, helping his mom cook and helping Uncle Mike build things. Chay was an absolute joy to be around and he will be missed by all that knew him.
