In the tranquil embrace of Twin Lakes, Wisconsin, we celebrate the remarkable life of Chad Charles Cantwell, a true force of light and generosity in our lives. Born on a frost-kissed morning of January 24, 1977, Chad’s fervent spirit illuminated the hearts of all who crossed his path. His earthly journey reached its gentle conclusion on November 7, 2024, leaving behind a legacy etched in kindness and boundless generosity.
Chad’s ardor for life was unmistakable. A virtuoso on the greens and the snowy slopes, his love for golf and skiing mirrored the joy he exuded in every endeavor he undertook. Chad’s love for Junior Golf was unparalleled, and his passion for instructing young golfers left an indelible mark on countless lives in the area. He was a true kid at heart, finding joy and fulfillment in mentoring and sharing his expertise with the next generation of golf enthusiasts.
A graduate from the University of Wisconsin-Parkside, his entrepreneurial spirit flourished as the proprietor of the renowned Wilmot Stage Stop, a haven where laughter and friendships were effortlessly woven into its timeworn fabric. Alongside his cherished partner, Ali, Chad cultivated a sanctuary where culinary delights and warm hospitality intertwined seamlessly.
The sanctum of Chad’s heart was vast, where ceaseless acts of kindness flowed like a gentle stream. His unwavering belief in providing a voice to the voiceless and a beacon of hope to those in need resonated deeply within all who knew him. His undeniable impact through philanthropic endeavors remains an eternal testament to his compassionate spirit.
In the radiant tapestry of Chad’s existence, his affection for his loyal canine companions, Charley, Tucker, and Belle, painted vivid hues of joy and companionship. Taking them on a “snifari” was the best time of his day.
In the days ahead, we shall gather in remembrance and reflection of a life lived with unwavering passion and benevolence. A luminous soul that graced our lives, Chad Charles Cantwell shall forever dwell in the hallowed chambers of our hearts – a beacon of light and love amidst the shadows of sorrow.
Chad leaves behind a tapestry of cherished memories in the hearts he touched. He is survived by the love of his life and “better half”, Ali Marchel; in the tender embrace of his mother, Judy Cantwell; grandmother, Laura Walker; his brothers, Craig (Kelly) Cantwell, Christopher (Monica) Cantwell, Cian Cantwell, Kyle (Rebecca) Schaufel; ten nieces and nephews that completely adored and cherished him, Colin, Tyler, Kaileigh, Elliotte, Carter, Raylan, Riley, Charley, Ophelia, Jace; his adoring canine companions, Tucker and Belle; other relatives and dear friends too numerous to mention.
Chad now joins the Lord in Heaven alongside his father, Cliff, and his faithful canine, Charley.

I was fortune enough and blessed to have known Chad since he was 5 years old, I witnessed his triumphs all the way through his college days, then followed his amazing accomplishments via social media, news article’s, various text messages and visits with him at the Stage Stop,
The world has lost an amazing man.
I pray his father met him at gates of heaven with open arms
