COOMBS, CHAD ABRAHAM
Chad Abraham Coombs passed away in the presence of his loving family on February 15th, 2024 at the tender age of 39. Chad was the first born of Adelaide and Wayne Coombs, beloved big brother of Mark. He was raised in Marystown, NL. He remained where his roots were firmly planted for the entirety of his life. Chad leaves behind with broken hearts but years worth of memories and love, soulmate and love of his life Jaclyn Coombs (Drake), his carbon copy, son Carter Coombs, his parents Adelaide (Rideout) & Wayne Coombs, and brother Mark Coombs (Kayla). Mother and father-in-law, Jackie & Wayne Drake, brothers-in-law Ryan Drake (Cynthia) and Rudy Drake. Nieces, Hope, Mya, Piper & Paris. Grandfather, Papa, Ralph Coombs. Also left with precious memories cousins who were more like siblings, his godson Luke (Kelsey) and "little sister" Bailey (Stefan), as well as a large circle of aunts, uncles, cousins and close friends including 'the bys', whom he adored, and his sweet girl, bulldog Lexi. Chad is predeceased and was met with loving arms in heaven by his grandmother, Mama, Beatrice Coombs, grandparents Edward and Mary Rideout, sister-in-law Holly, as well as many uncles and aunts.
Chad's battle with cancer began at the age of 15, but this disease is not what should define his life. He fought hard and then didn't look back for the next 20+ years as he carried out many of his dreams. Chad had an accomplished career as a welding inspector which brought him all over the country. When home, family getaways at the cabin in Main Brook, his happy place, is often where you'd find him with a Budlight in his hand. He took great pride in his Subaru STI, the car he spoke of since 15 years old. There was no mistaking when it was officially Subi season on Canning road whenever his car came out of storage. Chad was forever proud of his one and only son, Carter, "his greatest accomplishment", loving him greater than he ever imagined possible.
Chad was strong willed and stubborn at times, but he also had an enormous heart and wonderful sense of humour. He was generous, loyal, and brave. He was clever and full of knowledge gained through all of his life experiences: sea cadet, cancer survivor, welding inspector, son, husband, father, grandson, nephew, cousin and friend. He will be remembered for all the heart he shared with his friends and family. He truly loved each of them- and if you knew him, you knew it. When his time came, he carried himself with dignity, strength, and full of love for those who went before him. He will be missed beyond measure. Our hearts will never be the same but we will be forever grateful that they were touched by him. Cremation has taken place. The family invites you to join us on his 40th Birthday, Sunday, February 18th at Wiseman's Funeral Home in Marystown from 12-9pm to celebrate his life. Funeral service to follow on Monday, February 19th at 2:00pm from Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Church, Marystown. Donations gratefully accepted by the family, as well as flowers.
