Timothy "Chad" Kilcrease

Timothy (Chad) Kilcrease, 44, of Wake Village, TX, passed away on June 14, 2026, surrounded by family.

Born on March 23. 1982 in Opp, Alabama. He was the beloved son of Doris Carter Kilcrease of Texarkana, TX and Kenneth David Kilcrease of Enterprise, AL. Chad was a wonderful husband and partner to his wife Amber Keller of Texarkana, TX, and a devoted father to his son, Brennen Kilcrease, daughters, Everleigh Kilcrease and Raeleigh Kilcrease and step-daughter, Marleigh Martin.

Those who knew Chad will remember his caring heart, quiet strength, and the way he showed up for the people he loved. He was kind, generous, and quick to offer a helping hand. His greatest joy was being a dad- celebrating milestones, sharing everyday moments, and making sure his kids knew they were loved.

Chad was fun to be around, and an absolute charmer. He was ambitious, driven, creative, and eccentric. A true jack of all trades with self-taught natural talent. He enjoyed rebuilding sports cars, and riding his motorcycles. Chad believed in the power of positive thinking. He never said the words "I'll try" or "I want/need to". It was "I will" or "I'm going to".

Timothy (Chad) Kilcrease is survived by his wife/partner Amber Keller of 12 years; his children, Brennen Kilcrease, Everleigh Kilcrease, Raeleigh Kilcrease, and stepdaughter Marleigh Martin: mother, Doris Carter Kilcrease; father, Kenneth D. Kilcrease: Grandmother, Dorothy Campbell; two half-brothers and two half-sisters and many aunts uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and dear friends. He was preceded in death by his half-brother James Steitler and grandfather, Marion Carter jr.

A celebration of life will be held at a later date. All who loved Chad are welcome to attend and share memories, in lieu of flowers, the family suggests simply honoring Chad by spending time with your family and friends.

The family would like to thank St, Michael's ICU for their compassion and support.

Chad was a loving, caring father, son, and friend, Chad's kindness, steady presence, and laughter will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
