Obituary
David Chad Koehler,
formerly of Lincoln, Illinois passed away from
natural causes on February 13, 2026, in Canton,
Illinois. He was 58 years of age.
“Chad “as he was affectionately known, was born July
24, 1967, in Muscatine, Iowa to parents Harold (Hap)
and Phyllis (Rector) Koehler. He attended Black Hawk
Area Special education classes in the Quad Cities
until later moving to Lawrence Place in Mt Pulaski,
Illinois, a supervised home for developmentally
disabled adults in 1985. He was employed at the
Lincoln Development Center workshop until 2024.
Chad was a multi-time participant and gold medal
champion in the annual events held by Special
Olympics Illinois. And while Chad had several
hobbies, it was his ever-happy personality and
instant smiles that endeared him to countless
friends and strangers anywhere he went. His positive
and never-shy demeanor carried an innocence that was
free from hate, and he gave love to all who knew
him. |
Chad was preceded in
death by his parents, and one brother. Visitation
will be held at Fricke-Calvert-Schrader funeral home
in Mt Pulaski Illinois, on Thursday February 19 at
1:00PM, with services to follow at 1:30PM. The
Reverend Dr. Paul Brooks of Muscatine, Iowa will
officiate. Interment will be at Mt. Pulaski
Cemetery. The family requests that in lieu of
flowers memorials be made to Special Olympics
Illinois.
