CMB Bugler 2011-2013, Member of UofL Cardinal Marching Band 2009-2013

The CMB extends its greatest sympathy to the Ward family for the recent loss of Chad Ward. Chad was a recent alumnus of UofL, graduating with a bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science. He was a beloved member of the Cardinal Marching Band for 5 years and represented the trumpet section at the highest level. He was the first student to win the title of “CMB Bugler,” a position that he earned by blind audition 3 years in a row. Chad was a soloist with the band at every home game and regularly represented the band as a soloist for special events. Chad was known for his joyfulness, a playful spirit, and the ability to always make people laugh. He was a bright light for those around him and will be deeply missed. The CMB is honored to have known him and grateful to have been blessed by his many talents.

Visitation is at the Oldham County Funeral Home on Friday, January 22 from 2:00-8:00pm and the funeral on Saturday, January 23 at 10:00am at the Covenant United Methodist Church in La Grange, KY.
