Chad Lee Prince

Chad Lee Prince, 52, passed away the morning of Friday October 3rd, 2025. He was born August 24th, 1973 in San Diego, California to Larry Prince and Pamela McLeroy Prince.

Chad was born at Mercy Hospital in San Diego, California on August 24th, 1973 to Larry and Pamela Prince before moving to Carbon County, Utah in 1976. He is the oldest of six children. When his family first moved to Southern Utah, he was raised in Washington, Utah for several years before his family moved to Santa Clara, Utah and then later returned to reside in Washington, Utah over this last decade.

He attended Dixie Middle School and Dixie High School and graduated in 1991. He had several different professions through the years from driving semi trucks, working in the oil fields, in construction, to owning and operating his own business, Utah Highway Escort Services.

He loved God and prayed daily, asking the Lord to help him to be better and to bless those around him. He was always there for others in anyway they needed help, constantly providing selfless acts of service and never complained about someone needing his help. He loved his family with his whole heart and nothing made him happier than spending time together. He enjoyed many outdoor activities such as hunting, fishing, camping, attending his kids baseball and basketball games, wrestling matches. He loved country music and being a cowboy, a mechanic, and someone who could fix anything. He always had the mindset to do something himself instead of paying someone to do it.

He is survived by his children Leslie Johnson and Cameron Johnson, (Ivins, Utah), Kasey Prince and Emilia Gomez (Hurricane, Utah); grandchildren Tristan Johnson, Duncan Johnson, Emmett Johnson, Adaline Johnson, another baby Johnson on the way, Camila Gomez; siblings Charity Parise (Grantsville, Utah), Misty Alverson (Draper, Utah), Allie Pugh (Richfield, Utah), Aaron Prince (Richfield, Utah); parents Larry Prince and Pamela Prince (Tooele, Utah).
