Chad Michael Gibson, 33

Chad Michael Gibson, a.k.a. “Chad-O” or “The Beard”, made his final trek to the Field of Dreams on September 26, 2017. Chad’s family was his world. He was a devoted husband and a super fun dad, an avid baseball fan who took every opportunity to take his family to the ball park to enjoy a game and go autographing, and he passed that passion for baseball and video games on to his son, Chace. Chad was a friend to everyone he met, did everything in his power to make someone’s day a little more special, and was fiercely loyal to those he loved. Many would recognize his smiling face as the GameStop Manager.  He will be severely missed by those who knew him.  Chad was born Feb 4, 1984, in Cincinnati, Ohio to Greg Gibson and Vickie Perkins. Chad is survived by his wife Lacy (Hedinger), his son Chace, his grandmother Judy Abney, his parents Greg (Cathy) Gibson and Vickie (Dan) Perkins, sister Danielle Hendrix, father and mother-in-law John and Crystal Hedinger, and sister-in-law Bridget Hedinger and preceded in death by his grandfather Roy Abney.  Visitation will be at Porter-Oliger-Pearson Funeral Home on Friday, September 29 from 3-5 pm with Funeral Services starting at 5:00 pm with Rev. John Meyer officiating.  There will be a meal following the services.  The family requests that in lieu of flowers donations be made to Chace Gibson’s Trust Fund.  Online condolences can be made to the family at www.popfuneralhome.com
