Dear Superman, Chase Gaddy grew up to be a real life super hero. He was full of love and strength and competed in multiple power-lifting competitions (for which he still holds state records). Rest in peace my friend. 19 was too young. THE CHASE GADDY, you will always be a hero to many. (submitted by Chelsea Wylie)
