Chase will also be sadly missed and forever remembered by Aunt Lisa and Uncle Gerry of California, as well as Auntie Anna, Auntie Margo and cousins in Scotland; by his dear and special friends, Sandy and Jenny Borowski; also by his mother Peggy Kraft and his brother and sister, Heather and Jeffrey Kraft. Chase was a very special little boy who gave his love unconditionally, not asking for anything in return. During his short and difficult life, Chase fought hard to stay with us but on Monday, the struggle was over, and he slipped home to God. Chase was his Dads best buddy, he shall be sorely missed. He attended Wayota Elementary School where he made new and many friends. He enjoyed bright lights, Christmas, music, going to the circus, and especially watching Bugs Bunny on Saturday with his Daddy. One of the highlights of Chases young life was his trip to Disney World in 1997 with his Daddy, Grandma, and Jennifer. He also had fond memories of going to Manitoba Moose hockey games, the Winnipeg Blue Bomber games, and the Winnipeg Goldeye games with his Dad. He was especially proud of his autographed football, signed by the Bombers, and an autographed baseball from the Goldeyes. Chase also enjoyed going to carnivals and especially spending the August weekend with Grandma and Grandpa taking in the Icelandic Festival. He leaves us with many treasured memories that we shall never forget. He will live in our hearts forever.
