Chase Filandro, a vibrant social media influencer whose presence resonated far and wide, tragically took his own life. In a poignant statement, his family conveyed, "Chase made the solemn decision to embark on his journey to Heaven. His radiant light, though extinguished too soon, will forever illuminate the hearts of countless individuals whose lives he enriched during his remarkable, albeit all-too-brief, existence. Our family stands shattered and overwhelmed by the abrupt and unanticipated loss of our cherished Chase."
They further shared, "We issue this statement to honor his cherished memory. Those fortunate enough to know Chase witnessed his profound affection for the arts and the outdoors. His fervent spirit and authentic warmth forged enduring bonds with people across all corners of the world."
Amidst their grief and the celebration of "the magnificent life Chase lived," the family humbly requests privacy. Chase was renowned as an exceptionally talented artist, a wellspring of creativity—a singer, musician, actor, educator, poet, and painter extraordinaire. To his family, he was a beacon of positivity, his magnetic personality and zest for life leaving an indelible mark on everyone he encountered, both physically and virtually.
They added, "Chase infused joy, creativity, and inspiration into the lives of many. Though our hearts are shattered by this immense loss, solace lies in knowing that his artistic legacy and the boundless love he imparted will forever be etched in our collective memory."
His sister, announcing the heart-wrenching news on Instagram, also shared a GoFundMe link, which has swiftly amassed over $24,000 in just two days, a testament to the profound impact Chase made.
Chase was just 20 years old. Rest in Peace.
