He is in good hands and circled with love. God bless you and your family, and think of all the good times you had with your son . You will see him again on the other side. Live for him…

“Wayne-bubba” and family,we are lost for words and we are very very heart broken over this.If you ever think you are alone well you are not ,I lost my little brother and the pain is unbearable still, but friends and family and most of all the lord has helped me along.Don’t ever try and stand alone.Our prays and thoughts are really with you.
All of us at Bhs will miss you
Always remember his laugh and his smile that could light up a room.He was friends with everyone and loved by lots.He will never be forgotten.
Bubba & Family, Our thoughts & prayers are with you. We know no words can take away the the pain, but we hope you will find comfort in knowing we share in your loss.
Bubba,
Wanted to let you know I am thinking and praying for you and yours. My heart aches for you. I never met Big Phil, but I know him because I know you. God be with you always.
Bubba, My feelings of sorrow and sympathy go out to you and your family. May God give you strength to carry on.
Cindy & Wayne,
When I read the obituaries, I was at first stunned & then horrified. To loose a child, in itself, is tragic enough, but to loose a child with his whole life ahead of him is just compounded. Please accept my deepest sympathy & know that my heart aches for you. All of you will be in my prayers.

Cindy, Wayne, and Monica: I barely can think of words to say for my heart hurts so bad. Although our hearts may heal in time from the loss of a blessed person, there will always be a scar that will carry Phillips name on it. He touced the lives of many and is still touching many more even after he has moved on from here. God Bless you all and we love you guys!

Dear Chase family,
I’m sorry for the lose of your son, Phillip. I know that no words will ease your pain, but hope that you may find comfort in knowing that we are sharing your loss. You have our deepest sympathy. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. Cindy, I worked at the plant several years ago. Holly Berry Myers Family
Dear Cindy and Wayne, I wish there were words I could
say that may help, but losing our son 9 years ago, I
know the only strength we gathered was having our faith in God
and knowing people truly cared. I know that yours, your daughter’s
lives will never be the same, a friend of ours who also
lost a child told us the best description he could give
was that it was like having every living organ ripped from
your body. That about sums it up, but I also know that
God will not forsake us, and somehow we and you guys
will get the strength to go forward. If you feel like talking,
crying, sharing together, contact me at work. You and
yours our in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless. Deaner
dear cindy and wayne, my thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of sadness. may God continue to be ever ever so much closer to you right now. i love you. cousin jerry
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Chase and Family

Dear Wayne, Cindy and family, My deepest sympathies goes out to each and every one of you. I cannot begin to know the depth of your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Linda
Dear Wayne, Cindy and Monica No words can express the sorrow and hurt that you are going through now. I hope you well except mine and my wifes condolences on your lose. Try and remember that God loves us all!

Just want you to know that, if you need me for anything…I’ll be there

Whereas it has pleased the Almighty God to remove from our midst, a most precious jewel in the person of Phillip Wayne Chase.
We understand that God is one who never makes a mistake and whereas our dear Phillip will rest quietly in the arms of Jesus Christ our Saviour, be it resolved that he will be sadly missed by all who knew and loved him.
We leave the family with these words of comfort: Though he has passed away, the deeds he has left behind, will live on and on each day in our hearts sublime.
Respectfully Submitted:
The Members of St. Paul A.M.E. Church, Smithfield, Ohio
Rev. Diana Payton, Pastor

Please know that Phillip will be missed extremely by us, as he was a wonderful young man and I believe a blessing to all who knew him.
You are the best friend a guy could have . I’ll miss you pal.
Your friend
