A student at Keystone Heights High School, Chase was known and loved by many. He never met a stranger and had a special way of making everyone feel valued and cared for." Whether through a smile, a quick fist bump, a heartfelt hug, or a kiss on the hand, he had a gift for connection that will be sorely missed.
