Loss of one of our fellow AZ'ers

Chad DeRamus "The Kid"

TO ALL,

I would like to Thank all who have inquired or responded to the notice of the loss of our wonderful son Chad Alan DeRamus "The Kid". Our tragic family plane crash was October 22, 2006, and I must apologize for the delay in acknowledgement, but, was unaware of the postings on this site until recently. Chad was truely a generous and wonderful person. He loved God, his wife, his family, fast cars, fast Motorcycles and of course his passion POOL. We miss his witt, wonderful smile, his playful personality. Chad was KING OF THE PRANKSTERS, and could not pass up a challenge. He dealt with people from all over the world on pool cues and has played with some of the most memorable people in pool. Before his death "Fast Eddie Felson" told Chad, "Come to San Antonio and you and I can make some money". Eddie lost his favorite Huebler cue that night in a game of 9 Ball. We have recieved many wonderful letters, pictures, e-mails and personal conversations about how much Chad "The Kid" meant to so many people. Germany, England, Japan, Brazil and of course the U.S. Our family would again like to thank you. It is very comforting to hear such wonderful words about Chad. We would love to hear from YOU at anytime. We are starting a Chad Alan DeRamus Memorial Foundation, and would love to keep you informed about it's progress. We are also interested in starting a Chad Alan DeRamus Memorial Tournament. Any ideas or help with organizing, would be greatfully appreciated.

May God Bless and keep you.

Condolences from Billiard Table Services Inc.

Although I never met Chad, we all here at Az have a common bond, a brotherhood if you will. We all share the deep interest in the game of pool and everything that goes along with it. With this being said, he was (and still is) one of our brothers and it deeply saddens me the hear of his passing. Our hearts are heavy and our prayer and thoughts are with you in this sad time. Remember, God is in control and from what I've read in this forum, he is receiving all of his many rewards right now. God bless your family. Brian (tableman)
 
I'm a fan of Cajun Pawn Stars on the History Channel, so I Googled for some more information. It turns out that this poor fella Chad is/was the son of Jimmie "Big Daddy" DeRamus, who is the main guy in the show. He even posted in this thread a few posts above me....all before the TV show existed. The whole family was in the plane together, it turns out.

I thought that was interesting enough to register and make a post.

I'm sorry for your loss. Prayers to Chad and to the family.

From what I've read in this thread, he was one of a kind and a genuinely good person. I wish I could have met him.

Mike
