Chadd Burgess, 54, of Arlington, Kentucky, passed away at his residence on June 10, 2026. Chadd was born on July 22, 1971, to David Faire and Mary Burgess.
Chadd was a man who believed in hard work, loyalty, and taking care of the people he loved. A well-known hard worker and devoted provider, he spent his life doing what needed to be done, never seeking recognition and never backing down from a challenge. He was a stoic man, not always one to express his feelings openly, but those who knew him best understood the depth of his love and devotion.
To Chadd, friendship was family. The men he worked alongside on the road became brothers to him, sharing countless miles, stories, and memories. Those friendships were among the greatest treasures of his life, and the bonds he formed lasted a lifetime.
A proud patriot and true country boy at heart, Chadd loved his country and wasn’t shy about his beliefs. He was a devoted supporter of Donald Trump and a lifelong fan of Kid Rock. His idea of a perfect evening was riding through the bottoms, listening to Kid Rock, drinking a cold beer, and spending time with the people he cared about most. He loved to laugh, tell stories, and enjoy life to the fullest.
Above all else, Chadd loved his family. His wife, his two daughters, and his granddaughter were the center of his world. Though he often showed his love through actions more than words, there was never any doubt how much they meant to him. Everything he worked for and everything he built was for the people he loved most.
Chadd is survived by his wife, Jada Burgess; two daughters, Holly Burgess and Hayli Burgess both of Nashville, Tennessee; one granddaughter, Scotlyn Jade Burgess-Morris; his father, David Faire; and a nephew, Michael Burgess.
He was preceded in death by his mother, Mary Burgess; and two brothers, Larry Wayne Burgess, and Troy Don Burgess.
Visitation for Chadd will be held from 12:00 p.m. until 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, June 13, 2026, at Milner & Orr Funeral Home of Arlington.
Following the Visitation, the family would like to invite everyone to stay for a special tribute at 2:00 p.m. in honor of Chadd, as a beloved friend, Benjie Crawford, performs his favorite song.
