of Greenbrier, AR
April 19, 1964 - June 13, 2014
Chad Eugene Hollenbaugh, 50, of Greenbrier, was called home on June 13, 2014. He was born on April 19, 1964 in Denver, Colorado.
He was known for his genuine love of studying God's Word and was continuously growing in spiritual knowledge. He loved his family and always made church a priority. A faithful employee of IC Corp for over 30 years, he worked hard to provide for his family. He was the director of the Junior Olympic Volleyball Organization in Greenbrier. In his spare time, he was always taking his family on new, crazy adventures. From spontaneous travels around the world to inventing new games on the trampoline, life was always more fun when he was around. He loved being outdoors, playing paintball, auctions, traveling and repelling. He was always up for a new adventure, whether it be skydiving or climbing the highest mountain in Colorado. But most of all, he loved spending time with his family. You couldn't find a more supportive husband or father. He always put others above himself and helped his children and wife in any way possible. His generous spirit, love for others and love for Christ will always be remembered.
He was preceded in death by his father, Eugene Hollenbaugh, grandparents, Joyce Phillips, Edward Grant, Jim and Ruby Rivers.
Chad is survived by his loving wife of 28 years, Melinda, his three daughters, Hollie, Misti, Marissa, one son, Zachariah, parents, Duane and Marilyn Girton, of Conway, Arkansas, and sister, Wendy Rose of Holland, Arkansas. He is also survived by numerous Aunts, Uncles, cousins, nephews, and nieces.
A Funeral Service will be held to honor the life he lived and legacy he left on June 18, 2014 at 2 p.m. at First Baptist Church in Wooster. Visitation will be Tuesday, June 17, 2014, from 6-8 p.m. at Roller McNutt Funeral Home in Greenbrier. A memorial fund for the family has been set up at First Security Bank in Chad Hollenbaugh's name.

Oh, our precious other family, we do not have the words to say how saddened we are for the loss of your precious husband and father. We do know that God is in control of all things and His way is not always our way! He says He will never forsake us or leave us, and He has not left your family through this difficult time. Chad fought the Good fight and finished his race here on earth and had his family taught to walk with God afterwards. We love you all so much that words can't express!
We are continuously lifting your family and extended family members up to God for His awesome comfort! May the hedge of protection of God's Angels surround you in all decisions and all of the rest of your lives. God's word is your guidance and Chad's leadership memories will be there to cheer you own! Chad is looking forward to the day that we all meet again when we get to Heaven.

May the peace that passes all understanding hold you all tightly! Keep smiling like he and you always did because it is infectious!

My heart was so sad to hear of the loss of Chad. I worked with him at IC Corp and consider it an honor to have known him. His obituary said everything that I remembered about him. His sense of humor, adventure and his open love for God and Jesus Christ. He loved and was proud of his family. All I can say, is that I am praying for all of you for this great loss. May God Bless You. Carolyn Patrick.

Prayers and condolences to The Hollenbough Family. I worked with Chad at IC Corp for many years and remember him fondly. Such a great guy!! So very sorry for your loss! May God bless you and keep you.
Chad was a great co-worker for the 16 years I had the honor of working with him. He ALWAYS had a smile and a laugh and had a way of making your day brighter. He was someone I looked to quite often for help and he never let me down. To his family: You havent lost Chad....because to lose someone means you don't know where they are....we KNOW where Chad is. He had won the race we will continue to fight until God calls us home to be with him. God bless you all.
Praying for the family. I worked with Chad for 11 years at IC Corp. He was a very kind and sweet man.

Always know that we loved him too! His testimony portrayed the love of God and his life exemplified the kind of husband and father that he was. What a powerful legacy that is. He is a living memorial that will continue on through your family. Leaning on Jesus is sometimes painful for the moment but is always beneficial. Remember even though your burden is heavy, Melinda, His is light and Christ is more than able to handle it. Remember the God of the mountain is also the God of the valley. We love you Hollenbaugh family. Beverly Strain-Eads and John Eads
