Chad Randall English, age 34, of Pink Hill left this earthly life way too soon on August 15, 2023 after a lengthy illness.

He was born on December 20, 1988 in Duplin County; the son of Tammy Knowles of Pink Hill and Donald Graham English, Jr. and wife Rhonda of Willard.   Chad was predeceased by his maternal grandmother, Alice Martin, maternal grandfather Will Boyette, paternal grandfather Donald English, Sr.

Surviving in addition to his parents is his son and apple of his eye, Jase English of Pink Hill; his brothers, Richard English and wife Mary of Watha and Jonanthan English and wife Danielle of Willard; sister, Brandy Payne and husband Jon of Hampstead and Summerlin Mills and husband Scott of Wallace; paternal grandmother Gayle English of Willard; special friend David Lynn Whaley; numerous nieces, nephews, extended family and friends that loved Chad dearly.

Chad was a loving father and a caring son, brother, and friend.  He enjoyed the simpliest things in life, but his greatest joy was spending time with Jase.  It didn't matter if they were playing on the trampoline or playing games inside.  The two of them had lots of fun together.  Chad enjoyed being Richard's and Jonathan's brother.  Although as little kids they had their differences, they still loved each other and were always there for each other.  Having a joyful soul and had a contagious smile, Chad loved to laugh and make others laugh.  He enjoyed fishing, motorcycles, and four-wheeling. Chad was very talented and could build almost anything with his hands.  With a big heart, as well as a tender heart, Chad loved others and was loved in return. He will surely be missed but treasured memories of him will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.

There will be a memorial service in Chad's honor at 11:00 a.m. on Friday, August 18, 2023 at Beulaville Free Will Baptist Church, 141 Lyman Road, Beulaville, NC  28518.
