Chase Lawrence Lavigne

Chase Lawrence Lavigne died on July 2, 2025, at the age of 30. Chase was born on March 15, 1995, in Sarasota, Florida. He grew up in Virginia, attending elementary and middle school in both Mineral and Ruckersville. He went to high school in Laurens, South Carolina, and graduated from Laurens District 55 High School in 2013. In school, he was in Chorus and part of the Theatre program, with roles as Gaston, Ichabod Crane, and Bob Cratchit, just to name a few. He joined the Army Reserves in 2013 and then briefly attended Lander University the next year. In 2017, he was stationed in El Paso, Texas, where he met his wife, Jennifer. They married on January 29, 2019. He deployed to Kuwait twice, in 2017 and 2021, and made the rank of Staff Sergeant in the Active Guard Reserve after finishing his tour of active duty. In 2022, he went to school in Phoenix, Arizona, to study music production.

Chase loved video games, Batman, music, and making people laugh. If you knew him for almost any amount of time, you would have heard him play guitar and sing. He was a loyal, supportive, and loving husband, brother, son, and friend. He adored his wife and would do anything for anyone who was lucky enough to be loved by him or call him a friend.

He is survived by his wife, Jennifer Lopez Ortega; his parents, Diane Lavigne of Rochester, Indiana, and Lawrence Lavigne of Johnson City, Tennessee; three sisters, Ivy Ramsey of Alexandria, Virginia, Cassandra Brooks of Naples, Florida, and Paige (Zachery) Litchfield of Bradenton, Florida; eight nieces and nephews, Skylar Martin, Weston Martin, Evan Martin, Aiden Martin, Ethan Brooks, Brendan Brooks, Isabelle Brooks, and Margot Litchfield; and many other family and friends who will miss him terribly.
