    I just want to say that GOD has a great one coming to live with him in heaven. Tadd was one of the most amazing human being I every had the pleasure of knowing. He was someone who brightened each person he touched day. He will be missed not only in the basketball community, the Run GMC family but, mankind is losing someone to take an example of how to treat people. Rest in heaven my friend Tadd.

    Carlos and Dalene, I am so sorry about your loss. Tadd was such a great person. He was always so polite and would always stop to visit when we saw him. Loved his smile! Basketball was a passion of his and it shows in this video. What a life he lived! May he rest in peace. Sending our condolences to you.

    Watching this video proves that he lived his life to the fullest.

    I am a police officer at John A. Logan College. I would pass Tadd in the hall and he was always positive. We would fist bump and exchange how our days were going. So Sad to see such a good guy pass on at such a young age
