Chad will be remembered on Monday, November 29, 2021, at 2:00 p.m. at The First Lutheran Church of Bemidji with visitation being an hour before services will begin. All friends and family are welcome to join in celebrating his life and share stories. There will also be a gathering after at Chad’s Mother’s house which will be a potluck and gathering of friends.

Chad will be fondly remembered for his selflessness, for his willingness to give someone the shirt off his own back, his humor, but most of all for his strong love for his family. As a father to three boys and one girl, Chad truly loved his children with all his heart. Chad enjoyed the outdoors, and especially the fall season. He could light up a room with his presence and have anyone in the room bursting with laughter. He was a protector to his siblings, children, and mother. If you had the pleasure of being in Chad’s good graces, you never felt like you did not have someone you could count on.  He attended the Bemidji Area Schools and was involved in boxing, gymnastics, softball, and was very athletic. He spent his adult life doing jobs outdoors in lawn care. He has been known to do back flips off the tops of houses in his younger years.  He had a deep and strong relationship with the Lord and spent many hours reading from his bible. He would spend many hours talking to anybody that wanted to hear about the Christian faith.

Chad is survived by his mother Kathy Elton, Grandmother Rosemarie Cassady, children; Dylan Castonguay, Cade Castonguay, Aubrianna Castonguay, Kaos “Goober” Castonguay. His siblings; Travis Castonguay (Bridget), Brandon Castonguay, and Kallie Castonguay. He also loved all his nieces and nephews; Travis Castonguay, Jr., Braden Castonguay, Briar Castonguay, Brody Castonguay, Emma Hannu and Gage Klasen. Numerous aunts and uncles, special best friend Jeremiah Johnson, and his son’s mother Melissa Olson.  He is preceded in death by his Grandfathers Juel Elton, Walter Castonguay, Charles Cassady, Grandmother Virginia Castonguay, Uncle Kevin Cassady, and a cousin Nicholas.
