[Chase’s Family]

Thanks for stopping by! Chase left the physical world on 11/30/2021 after a long struggle with mental illness. He was 14. With the help of our community, we built this bench to be a place to connect, whether they knew Chase or not. It is a place to connect with your self, nature, friends, family, and the universe. Please enjoy, and also respect this beautiful preserve.

I’ve been riding out at PQ for 20+ years and the other day this bench caught my eye and I felt compelled to pedal over to it. It was hot, I was felling a bit run down from the day, but I pushed up the hill and felt an aura about this spot that made my day better.

I don’t know this kid, but I’m saddened by this story and hope this bench can bring peace to the family and others in the future.

Love and respect!
