Chance McCord Strader, 35, of Pontoon Beach, IL died on Saturday, December 17, 2022 at St. Louis University Hospital in St. Louis, MO.  He was born on August 22, 1987 in Alton, IL to Steven Strader and Penny (Giberson) Andrews.

Chance was the one everyone turned to for a smile and laugh.  He was the life of the party.  Chance always put everyone first.  Life was not about "me" to him.  He was a proud uncle, friend, son, brother, boyfriend, and the phone call anyone could make.  Chance enjoyed spending time with family, friends, and all loved ones.  He was proud of his work, stock market investments, riding motorcycles, and enjoying the time with the people that meant the most in his life.  He was nothing short of a miracle to this world.  Chance was the definition of "Happiness develops when you are working on something bigger than yourself."  He found happiness by committing to other people and positivity.

Besides his parents, Chance is survived by step-father, Steve Andrews of Pontoon Beach; a brother, Jeremy Strader; 3 sisters:  Jennifer (Dan) Mueth of Troy, Katelynn (Chuck) Klaesner of Granite City and Michelle (Mike) Bauer of Troy and his significant other, Danielle Kutz and children:  Bella, Vada and Diem.  Also surviving are nieces and nephews:  Harper, Avery, Jerry, Mason, Austyn, Kinsey, Charleigh, Nicole, Caleb, Leila, Christian, Kaylee, Mark and Jero and his large extended family and friends.
