I donât want to scare you all, this is @420moshdad best friend,
For those of you who donât know, chase passed away during the early morning hours of 30 September. As you may know, he always welcomed death but Iâm not sure if this is how or when he wouldâve wanted it. I wonât go into detail but I promise it wasnât his doing or an OD. It has been the hardest thing Iâve ever had to confront in my 27 years on this earth. He was my best friend.
At first, I was devastated thinking about how much more he wanted to accomplish. But as weâve all worked through this, I am realizing heâs done more than so many people can say they have and I find solace in that. He graduated in 2021 with a bachelors in education. His passion was teaching and he had almost two full years as a middle school reading and civics teacher. The difference he made with these kids in his short time here was incredible to see. I wish yâall couldâve seen the turnout during his celebration of life.
Music-wise, he would LOVE to brag about how he would ALWAYS get guestlist for dance Gavin dance. Andrew was even virtually at the celebration of life. We got guestlist for BOTDF and brokencyde and smoked blunts with the bands. He was also crazy involved with the local scene and would put on mall shows while in undergrad. He loved to bitch that he had no friends but they had to rent a larger venue for his celebration just due to the crazy turnout. I could go on and on about the impact he made.
Before he passed (kind of morbid) he made me his Facebook legacy account holder. I will be hopefully sharing memes and yelling into the void to keep his memory alive online. I know he was still very much into his tumblr. One of the first things he told me when we met (he was in middle school) was that he was tumblr famous.
I donât know if tumblr is still alive, but if youâre still on here, this was set up by his school. He was super passionate about teaching at a lower income school and giving them an education and the perks that schools with more funding are provided. If you would like to donate, this is the link. The funds will go towards the yearly trip to universal studios, which many of the kids are unable to afford. So far, his mom says theyâve been able to raise over $13k. This will send so many of the students for a couple years which is incredible.
I am not very eloquent with my words and this might all be rambling. I am a woman in stem, not a writer like him. If you have any photos, or memories, or just anything you want to share, I have been passing them on to the family. Please send them to me via ig or on here if you like. They love hearing about his life and getting to know chase all over again through another lens. If you have any art, his students and friends have made some bangers that weâve loved seeing. Please send anything honestly. Our lives will not be the same without him. Love you forever scrungus.
