April 30, 1993 – March 12, 2025
Chad Daniel Wooten passed away March 12, 2025 at the age of 31. He is lovingly remembered by his mother, Cynthia Wooten Allen; his father, Vance Wooten (Rebecca); and his brothers, Troy (Jennifer), Sean (Kayla), and Trevor. Chad was the beloved uncle to Troy’s three children. Chad is also survived by step-siblings, Rachel and Sam; aunts and uncles; and a myriad of cousins.
Chad joined the Missouri National Guard in 2010, fulfilling a lifelong military dream. For most of his service, he was with the 548th Transport Division as a Wheeled Vehicle Mechanic and Vehicle Recovery Specialist.
He served his unit and his country faithfully until his honorable discharge in 2023. This included a year-long deployment to the Middle East. His military career was a great source of pride for both Chad and his family.
Chad most recently worked as a tradesman. Always a hard worker, his work ethic and ingenuity were not only utilized in his career, but in his willingness to serve a friend or family member in need. His strength and dependability was a blessing to many.
While Chad’s earthly life ended with his passing, his family will carry his legacy of love, loyalty, curiosity, and adventure with them until they can be reunited some day.
All are welcome to celebrate Chad’s life, beginning with a visitation at 10 a.m. and funeral service at 11 a.m. on March 24, 2025, at Providence Baptist Church, Kansas City, MO. Interment will follow with a private family ceremony. Missouri National Guard Chaplain Chuck Scott will officiate both ceremonies.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions are suggested to K9s For Warriors.
Arrangements are in care of Bross & Spidle Funeral Home, Excelsior Springs.
