[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.

We run PQ weekly and just discovered the bench this morning.  I didn’t know Chase, but think the bench is a beautiful tribute to him. It looks like he touched many lives. I am sorry for your loss and are sending you love and light. May he rest in peace.

“Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature’s peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop away from you like the leaves of Autumn.” ~ John Muir
One of my fondest memories of Chase was a backpacking trip we took with him to a remote backcountry spot in Yosemite during the height of the pandemic. The park was empty of humans and we savored the gifts the majestic park offered.
