Chad was born in McAllen Texas on July 31 1977 & resided in Wimberley, Texas. He was the son of Cody Lance Collier & Cherry Vickers Ethridge.

Chad graduated from New Braunfels High School & attended Blinn College where he met his wife of 19 years, Virginia. He was a member of Chapel in the Hills Church.

Chad was a persistent tinkerer, never short of ideas for another new project. By many measures, Chad lived a short life.  On the other hand, the energy he brought to everything he committed to and the many people he touched in different ways..was a life lived to the fullest. Chad was self-employed many years as a handyman & roofing contractor. Recent years were devoted to the one job that was most important to him, working in the home & caring for his two children. He was an avid outdoors man & talented artist. He enjoyed walks with his family, teaching his children about all of God's creations & scripture. He will be remembered for his passionate spirit, forgiving nature, silly humor, infectious laugh & amazing wit.  

He is survived by his wife, Virginia Collier; son, Connor Collier; Daughter Claire Collier; Mother, Cherry (Neal) Ethridge; Father, Cody Collier; Sister Kassi (Barry) Jaroszewski; Grandparents William Jr. (Edie) Collier; Grandmother Diane Ogden Dooley & numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces & nephews.

He was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents Warren (Buddy) & Treva Vickers; uncle, Bub Vickers & cousin, Buc Vickers.
