Chad Vice is new to Sooner Rotary as of this year. The things he enjoys most about Sooner Rotary are our enthusiasm, energy and relationships! Chad is Funeral Director and owner of Havenbrook Funeral Home. He enjoys helping others and making a very difficult time in life to be more tolerable.
Chad’s beautiful and supportive wife is Jennifer and his wonderfully smart and amazing daughters are Kennedy and Hadley. Chad recently enjoyed Toy Story 3 because he watched it with his two girls and saw it through their eyes. Home is Chad’s favorite place to be. The family owns a guinea pig.
Chad’s favorite quote is “Let us be sure that those who come after will say of us in our time that we did everything that could be done. We finished the race; we kept them free; we kept the faith.” Ronald Reagan (from the third State of the Nation address, 1984). A favorite book he has enjoyed is Heaven is for Real because it’s an incredible story of unconditional love and faith.
Three words Chad might use to describe himself include fun, trustworthy and entrepreneur. He loves to read and get caught up visiting with family when he has a chance. He likes to watch history shows, National Geographic and OU football when he watches television. His favorite teams are OU and the Thunder. A recent book he has read is Decision Points.
If Chad had an opportunity to study and interesting topic it would be Presidential history. His favorite meal includes Mexican food and everything that goes with it! Reeses Peanut Butter Cups are his favorite candy. Washington D.C. is a very interesting place he has visited. He loves football.

Chad admires his maternal and paternal grandfathers because of their work ethic, perseverance and sacrifices. Favorite time spent on the weekend includes time spent with family. In fact, a responsibility he takes seriously is being a Godly example to his wife and two daughters. If he could have a wish for someone else it would be that they be blessed with a healthy and prosperous life. Something Chad is curious about is the day-to-day work done in the Oval Office.
Chad answers, “What do you do best?” with listening to what God wants, having a vision through which to view the possibilities and executing a task. An ideal friend will have character, integrity, wisdom and can keep secrets. Chad considers himself to be a fun, honest, trustworthy friend who is hardworking, dependable and loyal.
Something Chad is working on this year is more balance between his professional and personal life. Wishes for the world include world-wide peace, permanent cure for all cancer and that his little girls could remain little.
