Chad Hoffman, 44, of Stoutsville, passed away Thursday, November 8, 2018 surrounded by his loving family and dearest friends. He was born February 8, 1974 in Columbus, Ohio.
Chad was a 1992 graduate of the Amanda-Clearcreek High School where he played football and was a part of many victorious football games. He was a participant and supporter of the 4-H livestock programs. Chad and his dad had a beef cattle herd on the farm and marketed beef feeders. He was a grain farmer with land in both Fairfield and Pickaway counties. What best describes Chad is a quote made by our first President, George Washington, “I had rather be on my farm, than be emperor of the world”. He lived, loved, and laughed on the farm and his shop, for him, there was no better life.
