Mr. McEwen was born Dec. 26, 1976, in
Anchorage, where he resided his entire life. He was just beginning to get his
life together with his new line of work. He was a member of the International
Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and was working as a material handler for Redi
Electric in Fort Grilley.
In his spare time, Mr. McEwen loved to hunt,
fish, camp, ride four-wheelers and snowmachines, snowboard and work on cars. He
was learning how to play his electric guitar. When it came to sports, he loved
them all, especially hockey.
"Chad was the life of the party. He had a way
of lighting up a room with his smile and infectious laugh, his spunky sense of
humor, outgoing charming personality and his never-ending talent of making
everyone else smile and laugh right along side with him. He was such a caring,
loving man that he always was available to reach out and help anyone, anytime.
Chad's greatest love in his life were his two boys," his family said. "Chad will
live on in our memories forever and will be missed by everyone who knew him."
Mr. McEwen is survived by his father and
mother, Jim and Madalyn McEwen of Anchorage; sons, Kyle and Alex McEwen;
sisters, Aleta McEwen of Anchorage and Sylvia Shaeffer of Kasilof; brother,
James McEwen of Kasilof; grandmother, Lois Pickens of Glennallen; and many
aunts, uncles and cousins.
Arrangements were made by Kehl's Forest Lawn
Mortuary.
