It is with profound sorrow that we announce the passing of Kendra, 58, and Chad, 55, who were tragically taken from us in a double homicide on February 26th, along with their 2 dogs. Their lives were a testament to love, faith, and devotion, leaving an everlasting mark on all who knew them.

Kendra was a dedicated Human Resources professional at Medtronic, where her compassion and diligence touched countless lives through her work. Chad served with equal commitment in the field at CenturyLink, bringing integrity and care to everything he did. Together, they built a life rooted in their deep Christian faith, which guided them as devoted members and servants of Flatirons Community Church and as pillars of their community.

Kendra was the most down to earth, loving, and kind mother, wife, sister, daughter, and friend. She loved her wine, dogs, lake days, Sundays at Church and family more than life itself. She loved to laugh at Chad’s silly jokes and make goofy comments all the time. She loved her 2 boys and her Husband more than anything and never let life get in the way of that. She was the best cook and the boys never missed a meal growing up. If you knew her, you knew she cared deeply about not only her family but her friends and their lives.

For those who knew Chad, you know he definitely was not a big talker. In all seriousness, he loved to just simply talk with his closest people and spend time with family and friends. His favorite thing was working out, lake days, and watching football and UFC with his 2 boys. He was always the hardest worker in the room and despite all his shoulder struggles, he managed to continue digging deep and not giving up or being the most friendly guy at the gym. More than anything he loved his boys and his wife with all of his heart, mind, and soul.

Above all, they were the most loving parents to their two sons, Brady and Cole. Their home was a haven of warmth, filled with laughter, encouragement, and unwavering support. They cherished lake days, where the family would laugh and relax in the peace of each other’s presence and the lake itself, and they found joy in staying active together at the gym. Family time was their greatest treasure, whether gathered around a meal or watching a Broncos game or UFC fight night.

Kendra and Chad will be remembered for their lovingness, kindness, their strength, and the light and smiles they brought into every room. Though their lives were cut short by a senseless act, their legacy continues in the hearts of their sons, their family, and the countless friends and colleagues who were blessed to know them. A double-memorial service will be held on Friday, March 7, 2025 at 11:00 a.m. at Flatirons Community Church in Lafayette.

"May they rest in eternal peace, reunited in the arms of Jesus.”

Please afford this family some privacy as they navigate the first few days of this tragedy.
