Chad A. Kaiser was born September 18, 1971, in Yankton, South Dakota, to Donna Kaiser. He grew up in Yankton and graduated from Yankton High School in 1990. He worked several jobs in the Yankton area and in 1995 met the love of his life, Becky Heier. Chad worked at Topkote in Yankton for a few years and then went into business for himself as an independent contractor, installing flooring.

Chad was a kind, helpful, family man who had a gentle soul and a heart of gold. He enjoyed tinkering in his garage, working on vehicles, taking care of his yard, trees and house plants. He enjoyed trips with his friends whether it was snowmobiling, 4-wheeling, hunting, fishing or camping. He recently bought a new smoker and enjoyed trying new recipes for his family. He will be greatly missed.
