Obituary for Kurt "Chad" Saathoff
SAATHOFF, K. CHAD, of Blanchard, died unexpectedly at Covenant Hospital Thursday, December 15, 2016, at the age of 43.
Born March 14, 1973, in Reed City, the youngest child of Wilbur “Bill” and Betty Saathoff. Chad was a 1992 graduate of Chippewa Hills Schools and of Ferris State University in 2003. Chad proudly served our country 25 years from 1991 to present in the United States Army and Michigan National Guard, specializing in helicopter aviation maintenance and operation. His military career included deployments to Korea, Hungary, and Kosovo. Chad married his high school sweetheart, Kari, December 30, 1995, and loved raising his three fantastic boys, Eli, Gage, and Tanner. As a member of the Mt Pleasant Community Church, Chad faithfully enjoyed serving as a tech team volunteer and hanging out with his small group family. Chad’s favorite hobby was spending time with his boys, volunteering as their coach, and biggest fan at sporting events.
