It is with heavy hearts and deep sorrow that we share the passing of Chadwick “Chad” Michael Belue, born January 31, 1982, and passed away December 18, 2025. Chad was a devoted husband, a loving father, and a true friend to so many. His loss is felt deeply by all who knew and loved him.
Family meant everything to Chad. Some of his happiest moments were spent watching his children and bonus children play sports—cheering from the sidelines, celebrating their successes, and simply being present for them. He was their biggest supporter and took great pride in being a constant part of their lives.
Chad was a member of Clements Baptist Church and was active in Sheet Metal Local 48, which he truly considered a brotherhood. He was a hard worker who took pride in his trade and was always willing to help others learn and grow. Chad was a mentor to many of his fellow workers, leading by example through his dedication, integrity, and willingness to lend a hand.
More than anything, Chad loved people. He was only a phone call away, always ready to help when someone needed him. He had a natural way of making others feel welcome and cared for, and his kindness and generous heart left a lasting impression on everyone he met.
Chad was preceded in death by his grandparents, Theron and Ellaree Belue, and Toby and Kat Sewell.
Chad is survived by his loving wife, Leslie Belue; his children, Houston and Hannah Grace Belue, bonus children Tristan, Jennason, Easton, Kelton, and Patton Hammell; his parents, Mike and Tina Belue; his sister, Tonya Newton (Robert); his brother, Chris Belue; his nieces, Abby and Annalee Newton; and a large host of friends who were blessed to know him.
Though our hearts are broken, we are grateful for the time we had with Chad and the love he shared so freely. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered by his family, friends, and all whose lives he touched. Chad’s passing is not a good bye, but a see you later!
Honoring Chad’s wishes, there will be no service.
