Chad Allen Fortner

Chad attended Glenwood Schools from age seven through his freshman year. At age 18, he moved back to Council Bluffs, Iowa, where he stepped into young adulthood and built a life filled with close friendships and simple pleasures.

He brought energy and passion to everything he enjoyed-whether playing basketball, riding his bike through town, playing video games, listening to music, or hanging out with his friends and girls. Chad was also the proud father of one son.

Chad is preceded in death by his sister Ashley Marie Hoffman and he is Survived by his mother, Penny L. Fortner of Woodbine, IA; his father, Steve Fiscus of Omaha, NE; his sister Stevie Fortner of Council Bluffs, IA; brothers, Jerimiah (Tori) Fortner of Omaha, NE, and Sean (Tina) Fortner of Council Bluffs, IA; his son; as well as his aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and several cousins.
