Chad A. Hafeman

December 24, 1980 — May 27, 2016

Chad A. Hafeman, age 35, of Appleton, passed away on Friday, May 27, 2016. He was born on December 24, 1980 in Appleton to Roger and Lynette. Chad attended Appleton High School and went on to The Fox Valley Technical College where he studied welding. He was most recently employed as a concrete worker.
Chad was a person who would light up a room with smiles, laughter, jokes and his well-known dancing. His “Jack-of-all-Trades” abilities were beyond the working hands as he also loved dancing crazy with his kids and was never afraid of embarrassing them; Chad's children were his world and he loved them more than they will ever be able to know. Chad never cared of what others might think of him and he lived everyday being who he wanted to be. He most enjoyed his family and friend time with cookouts (Chad was an excellent cook), camping, pool leagues, video games and listening to endless music that kept him believing that life goes on. Chad would always put his own problems aside to help, comfort and protect others. He was known for his glory of putting everyone ahead of himself. His children are what kept him going because he too was still a kid at heart.
Chad is survived by his 8 children, Brandon Sumnicht, Devin Sumnicht, Eliza Hafeman, Airyana Hafeman, Natasha Hafeman, Niles Hafeman, Mason Hafeman and Logan Hafeman; parents, Roger Hafeman and Lynette La Bonte; step-mother, Judy Hafeman; six siblings, Boyd (Toni) Bender, Melissa (Casey) Wheeler, Amber (Kevin) Ostorero, Trisha Strong, Travis (Sabrena) Hafeman and Nicole (Jason) Thurke; grandparents, Mildred Hafeman and Joanne and Napoleon La Bonte. Chad is further survived by 11 nieces, 5 nephews, many more dear relatives and close friends.
Chad was preceded in death by his grandfather, Robert Hafeman.
