He had a great big smile and outgoing personality. Chance possessed strength, courage, perseverance, and an ability to overcome incredible odds and physical challenges that plagued him throughout his life. Due to his ongoing positive nature, he quickly became known as one of the nurse's favorites at Sawtooth Elementary School. Chance's can do attitude led us all to believe that each day was an opportunity to live life to the fullest and create lifelong memories. He was special and unique, radiating happiness.
