He was born December 7th, 1938 in Beaver, Utah to Allison Darrell Stott and Portia Olean Whicker Stott. Chad was the oldest child of 3 boys, Larry W. and Colin D. Stott. In the early 1940's, Chad contracted Polio while living in the panhandle of Idaho. His will and the great love and tender care his mother provided by rubbing his legs day and night made it possible to survive. He spent his younger years growing up in Fillmore before moving to Centerville, and then later to Bountiful where he graduated from Bountiful High School in 1958 There he played football and was an honor-roll student. He received his degree from the University of Utah where he was also a member of the men's gymnastics team. He married his "sweetheart" Patty Lowe on December 27th, 1963, and later they were sealed in the Salt Lake City Temple on January 2nd 1972. Together they had 4 children: Reni(Jill) Stott, Tricia Harrison, Jeremy(Lora) Stott, and Danny(Heidi) Stott. He was loved and adored by his 12 grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren who will miss him dearly. He was a faithful member of the LDS Church and was called to serve as a temple worker for 13 years in the Salt Lake Temple, followed by another 3 1/2 years in the Bountiful Temple until he was physically unable. He had a great love for geneology work and spent countless hours researching his family history. He served in many callings, but most importantly he served faithfully as a loving father, son and husband. He loved and cherished the gospel of Jesus Christ and utilized his priesthood well to continually bless his home and family. Chad was a loving husband, father, and a good provider. He was an avid fly fisherman, hunter, model airplane enthusiast, and master gardener - especially with his beloved tomatoes and peas. He had a deep love for animals and for all things that Mother Nature provided. He loved football, especially the University of Utah, and could be found watching reruns of old college games. He loved "Star Trek" (every generation) and old airplane shows such as "Black Sheep Squadron". A signed photo of Robert Conrad sits above his fish tank near his bed even at this time. In his last few years he spent every moment with his "sweetheart" by his side and will look for his chance to be with her again forever. He was preceded in death by his parents Allison Darrell Stott, Portia Olean Whicker Stott, and his brother Colin Darrell Stott.
