With heavy hearts and profound sorrow, we mourn the sudden and tragic passing of Chase Harrison, a beloved son, brother, friend, and community member, who died in a car accident on April 9, 2025, in Alberta, Canada. At just 27 years old, Chase’s life was cut short far too soon, leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter, kindness, and unforgettable memories. His passing has sent shockwaves through his family, friends, and the broader Alberta community who knew and loved him dearly.
Chase Harrison was a man who radiated warmth and positivity wherever he went. He had a magnetic personality, the kind that made strangers feel like old friends, and close friends feel like family. Born and raised in Alberta, Chase developed a deep love for his home province and the people within it. He appreciated the wide-open skies, the rugged beauty of the Rockies, and the strong sense of community that defines Alberta’s towns and cities. He was proud of where he came from, and he carried that pride in everything he did.
From an early age, Chase stood out—not for seeking the spotlight, but for the way he made others feel seen, heard, and valued. He had a gift for connecting with people. Whether you had known him for five years or five minutes, he had a way of making you feel important. He never judged, never rushed conversations, and always had time for a good talk, a hearty laugh, or a comforting hug. His generosity wasn’t just in the things he gave, but in the way he gave his full attention, energy, and care to everyone he encountered.

Chase was incredibly close to his family, who are now grieving the unimaginable loss of a son, brother, and grandson who meant the world to them. He was the kind of person who never missed a birthday, always remembered to check in, and consistently showed up—no matter what. His parents often spoke of how proud they were of the man he had become—compassionate, hardworking, thoughtful, and endlessly loving. His siblings described him as their anchor and protector, someone they could always rely on to be there with an open heart and an open mind.
In his professional life, Chase was just as respected and admired. He worked in the construction and trades industry, where he was known not only for his exceptional skill and work ethic but for the way he lifted up those around him. He had an infectious enthusiasm for his craft, often mentoring younger workers and encouraging them to strive for excellence. Chase believed in doing things the right way—not just for the sake of a job well done, but because he believed that integrity mattered. His coworkers often said that it wasn’t just his talent that made him stand out—it was his attitude, his leadership, and his unwavering positivity.
Outside of work, Chase was an adventurer at heart. He loved being outdoors—camping, hiking, snowboarding, and exploring the natural beauty that Alberta had to offer. His friends recall countless weekends spent around campfires, laughing under the stars, and talking about everything from life’s biggest questions to the silliest inside jokes. Chase was a storyteller, a jokester, and a source of endless joy. His laughter was contagious, and his presence always made any space feel lighter and more alive.
But Chase was also deeply reflective. He wasn’t afraid to talk about hard things, to ask deep questions, and to be vulnerable. He valued authenticity and believed that life was too short to pretend to be anything other than who you truly are. He encouraged those around him to embrace their true selves, to be brave in their struggles, and to find strength in vulnerability. Chase himself had faced his share of challenges in life, and it was those experiences that shaped him into the empathetic and compassionate person he was.
His tragic death has left a painful void in the lives of all who loved him. The outpouring of support from the Alberta community in the wake of his passing is a testament to just how many lives Chase touched. From neighbors to childhood friends, coworkers to cousins, people from every corner of his life have come forward with stories about how he made them laugh, helped them through hard times, or simply made their day better with his smile and sincerity.
In the days following the accident, Chase’s family has asked for privacy as they grieve this profound loss. They have also expressed immense gratitude for the messages, prayers, and support they’ve received. In their words, “Chase was a light in our lives. We can’t imagine a world without him, but we’re so grateful we had the years we did. His love, his humor, his strength—they’ll stay with us forever.”
To honor Chase’s memory, a celebration of life will be held in Edmonton later this month. Friends, family, and community members are invited to gather, share stories, and remember the incredible person Chase was. Details for the service will be announced in the coming days.
In the meantime, those who wish to honor Chase are encouraged to do so in ways that reflect who he was: lend a helping hand to someone in need, take a walk through nature, make someone laugh, or simply tell the people in your life that you love them. Chase believed in living life fully, loving openly, and treating everyone with kindness and respect.
As we try to come to terms with this heartbreaking loss, we take solace in knowing that Chase Harrison’s legacy will live on—not just in the stories we share, but in the love he gave, the joy he spread, and the countless lives he impacted. He may no longer be with us physically, but his spirit will continue to guide and inspire all who were lucky enough to know him.
Rest in peace, Chase. You were one of a kind, and you will never be forgotten.
Forever loved. Forever missed.
