Obituary of Chad E. Granato
Please share a memory of Chad to include in a keepsake book for family and friends.
Chad E. Granato, 52, of North Judson, IN passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday, January 1, 2020 at his home. He was born on November 14, 1967 in Hammond, IN to Ronald E. and Darlene L. Chalfant Granato. Chad graduated from Portage High School in 1986. On May 20, 2016, he married Janet Wait in Knox, IN. She survives.
Chad had a lifelong struggle with several medical conditions but always maintained a very positive attitude. He shared a passion for hunting and fishing with his brothers and routing for the Pittsburgh Steelers with his dad. Chad enjoyed playing the drums and belonged to several bands over the years. His latest musical passion was playing Christian praise and worship music at Global Harvest Church in Monterey, IN.
Most of all, Chad loved spending time with his family and friends. He was a loving and devoted husband, dad, papa, son and brother. He had a big heart, which showed in the way he raised his three step daughters from a previous marriage and loved them as his own. Chad will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved him.
