I don't have a pic but Chad Vest passed away a few days ago from throat cancer. Very Sad. Pretty sure he was a member of John Jenkins church in Gaylord, MI. Good guy, also had a large family...way too young.

Born: Oct 21, 1973
Died: December 24, 2022,

He received a degree in pastoral theology from Hyles-Anderson College in 1996

Chad was the proud father of 9 children (5 girls and 4 boys).

Please be in prayer for Amanda and the children as they cope with the loss of their loving husband and father.
 
That's a lot of children! Does anyone know if he had life insurance?

I wouldn't mind sending a bit of money if it would help. Don't know him or the family. Those of you that do, could possibly make recommendations.
 
Regarding Chad Vest, I suspect Pastor Hagland from Grace Baptist Church of Gaylord, MI. would have the info you are seeking.
