RIP Chad Wise

[UConnMike04]

Not too sure of the details but I saw through Shamon Tooles' Facebook page (friends with him) that Chad Wise (UConn '01-03) passed away. I don't have any details, but from reading the comments it seems he was sick. Maybe someone more connected can shed some light on it.

Very sad, RIP Chad.

RIP
It's horrible to see someone die so young.

That is awful. If I recall correctly, his mother used to post on the Boneyard. She had a great sense of humor. Feel really bad for her. And his family.

Today I will raise a Budweiser to him I guess.

Rest in Peace Chad. You were a big part of past mojo...


Chad...

Holy crap, really? I thought this was going to be some sort of joke thread. Damn, kid was young.

He was on our basketball team in the early 2000s. Wasn't a walk on but also wasn't one of the main rotation guys. More of one of those tweeners that would come in to give a foul when needed, give a guy a breather, etc.

Kid could hit the three. I've always felt Chad could have been better than he was. But he really loved the college experience so to speak. It can never be said that Chad didn't have a good time. And that's not an insult either. RIP

Anyone know what happened? I was in his west campus dorm as a freshman and had a 'few' with him on occasion. Thoughts and prayers with his family.

Damn... Chad was only a few weeks older than me. Way too young... RIP Chad.

Kid had some game, could shoot it and had some hops if I remember correctly. As you said more of a tweener and not quite a Big East kid, and he was on some really good teams so limited minutes available.

I too seem to remember him being able to dunk pretty well for his size.

 

[Robertelamin]

Yes I remember he was pretty athletic. I think he was stuck behind Robertson and Ben so he never played. I thought he transferred to Arkansas but I couldn't find anything....

I believe he may have transferred to the U. of Central Ark.

It's a terrible tragedy for any family to lose a child.

RIP Chad. You're a Husky forever.

Here's a link to his obituary. He was only 32. RIP Chad.

OBITUARY

 

[FASTEDDY]

So very sad. A truly young man passed away well before his time.

I'm in my 40s and know of several classmates and friends who have passed. Just way too early. Thought the rage life expectancy now is into the early 80s.

RIP Chad Wise.
