Avondale AZ/Ogden UT - Chad David Degiorgio, 38, passed away on Monday, September 15, 2014 at Hospice of the Valley, Goodyear, AZ after a 4 month battle with cancer. He was born May 14, 1976 in Ogden, UT to David and Annette Kidd Degiorgio. He graduated from Weber High School in 1994, received an Associate's Degree from Salt Lake Community College and graduated from the University of Utah with a Bachelor's degree in Business. After graduation, Chad worked at O.C. Tanners, and then went to work for Swift Transportation in Salt Lake City and Phoenix, Arizona as a planner, with the support of Buddy Favero and Jerry Moyes. He later worked for Navajo Trucking as a planner and later as the Director of Asset Management.

Chad won his first Grand Championship steer in 1989 at the Weber County Fair. After that he went on to win again in Weber County, at the Utah State Fair, Arizona National, Blackfoot Idaho, and many other livestock events. He returned each year to the Weber County Fair, until 2014, to assist young 4-H members to prepare and show their steers. He was always willing to lend a hand and support any of the youth who asked for his help. Chad was known for his smile, generous personality, loving heart, strong work ethic, and his starched jeans.

Chad is survived by his life partner, Danny Turner; his parents; sister and brother-in-law, Lisa (Andre) Worthy; aunts, uncles and cousins. He was preceded in death by his beloved Nonna, Mae and Nonno, David Degiorgio and Grandma and Grandpa Kidd.
