Chad Edward Stefanski, 40

March 1, 1981 - December 17, 2021

Chad Edward Stefanski, 40, passed away at his Manheim Township home on Friday, December 17, 2021. Born in Lebanon, he was the son of Frank J. Stefanski and Connie Lynn Rutt.

A graduate of Lower Dauphin High School, Chad first worked in the apprenticeship program at Fry Printing and became a bindery operator. He then worked as a bindery operator at R.R. Donnelley, and currently worked at Reese’s, where he learned all the positions to become a mechanic.

Chad had a big and loving heart. He was always smiling, and he was willing to help everyone. He loved snowboarding, playing the drums, riding his motorcycle, visiting his mother in Florida, spending time with his four-legged friend Rocky, and going to the beach at the Outer Banks.

Surviving Chad are his parents, Frank J. Stefanski (Karen Urniezus) of Lancaster and Connie Lynn Rutt (Buddy Weber) of Homosassa, FL; his brother John Stefanski of Salunga; his maternal grandmother, Beverly A. Rutt of Lancaster; numerous loving aunts, uncles and cousins; and many friends.

A Celebration of Chad’s Life will be announced in the future. Interment was private.

So sorry for your loss Frank. I know how difficult it is to lose a child. I lost my oldest son Larry Jr. 3 years ago. Thinking of you and your family at this difficult time. Take care. Cindy
