  1. candleA piece of my heart is now with an angel. I love you Chase. Cami, Tom, Franki, Ford, know you are in our prayers.

  2. Chase is such a wonderful friend, amazing musician, actor, performer, and person. there truly is no one else like him. he left an impression on everyone he met, he’s one of those people where even if you meet him just once you never forget him. i’m so grateful and happy that I can call him my friend and i’ll never stop missing him. he’s a huge inspiration to me on stage and he pushed me to give it my all when singing and performing, always so kind and encouraging. i’ll never ever forget the impact his friendship had on me. all around such a stand up guy, just a funny and genuinely caring and nice person. i love you Chase and I’m so happy to have known you.

  3. Chase was one of the most amazing friends I’ve ever had. He was so full of life and genuinely one of the funniest people I’ve ever met. He was a phenomenal actor who really had a shot at making it big and I truly believe that. I will never forget the time I’ve spent with him. I’m sending all my love to his family and everyone else affected. Chase, you were one of a kind and I’m going to miss you so much.

  4. candleChase was one in a million. I was so lucky to be able to spend so much time with him and his family. One of my favorite memories was watching his band perform in Brooklyn. He was electric and such an amazing person to be around. The entire Filandro family are in my thoughts and prayers.

  5. Chase my boy. I know you will never be able to read this, but oh my God how you lit up my life. You were always, always, always there for me and you made me laugh like no one else. You were able to make me smile even when I didn’t want to. I wish you could’ve heard how I talked about you to my friends and family. Chase, our time together on this earth was too short and I am still holding you to our pact: if I never get married, we will. Somehow, somewhere, someday. I love you more than you’ll ever know and I will value our friendship forever. I wish the world got to see how beautifully talented, kind, intelligent, and perfect you were. God gained his best angel with you. You better rock that stage in heaven for the both of us. Rest easy Filangee ❤️

  6. I have known Chase since this past December and he has truly left such a positive mark on my life in every way possible. I have met few people so vivacious and kind. He lit up the lives of everyone he knew with his warm, yet electric demeanor. From the moment I met him I wanted to get to know him more and it is now one of my biggest regrets that I didn’t get to spend more time with him. He will and always will be one of the most special people I will know in my lifetime. I would do anything to go back to hanging in the Penthouse of Carlyle with you. Love you Chase❤️❤️❤️

  7. Chase, how I miss you. You were such a bright light for me, even on my darkest days. You never failed to make me laugh and smile. I miss your hugs, your jolly little laugh, you randomly bursting out into song or dance, and most of all your silliness. I’ll never forget our time working together and all the hours we sat next to each other in studio, just laughing away. I’ll miss our lunch walks where we just ranted about random stuff. Thank you for always being willing to buy me a lunch or a Coke Zero just because you knew I was in a bad mood. Your heart was so big and you had so much love to give. I’m so glad I got to call you my friend, and I’m lucky that you called me yours. I’m thinking about you and I’ll miss you forever. I hope you’re surrounded by trees and nature with all your favorite books, your typewriter, and your journal, just basking in the warm sun. I love you Chase <3 I miss you dearly. Thank you for everything.

  8. candleMay you fly with the angles Chase, you are missed by so many. Sending prayers and Love to Tom, Cami, Ford, Franki, and Bill. Love you all!

  9. candleOur deepest sympathies during this most difficult time.
    We are grateful for all the amazing memories and for his love for nature.
    Gone much too young.
    The Lorenzo Family

  10. I’m very sorry for your loss. Sending my deepest condolences to the entire Filandro family. May you find comfort in your faith and love for one another and your memories of Chase. He will live on forever in all of your memories.

    • candleA true light in my life and so many other lives. Chase, Thank you so much for everything, forever. Thank you so much to the family for raising such an incredible human being. I will miss you so much, may you rest in peace by brother.

  11. Chase was so vibrant and charismatic. He shared his gift freely and could light up your heart the second he met you. It was an absolute joy to get to know him and watch him perform with my son Caleb, Ava, Chris and Andrew in the “Just Add Water” band. He put his all into everything he did and you couldn’t help but be moved by his amazing energy. May he always live on in the hearts of everyone he touched. He left us with so much and left us much too soon. Sending love and comfort especially to the family, those closest and all who are hurting. 💔🙏

  12. candleChase was enigmatic. He would just draw you in and make you laugh, letting you forget about anything weighing on your mind. I met him by chance through an English course at NYU, and then kept him by choice in my life, because who could not love him? We talked about books, love, sunsets, and all the simple joys we found in life. I don’t think I’ve ever met someone more full of beauty and energy in my life. I’ll miss out coffee chats at Cafe Reggio, watching you carefully eat only the noodles out of the soup you ordered because it was too spicy, and the little impromptu acts we would do on the streets just to have a laugh. You will always be loved and missed, and I still hope to take the hike with you someday. Love you, Chase.

  13. Our deepest sympathies to the entire Filandro family. We only met Chase once and remember his wonderful smile and charm. May you find strength in your memories and the love that surrounds you.

    Judy and Jim Meehan

  14. candleDear Filandro family,

    I am very saddened to hear this news. Tom and I were catching up last week in Norwalk at an ICR meeting and had an extensive conversation about Chase and his aspirations in the creative arts. He sounded like a wonderful kid with an amazing spirit.

    I hope that your wonderful memories of him will provide some modicum of peace during this difficult time.

  15. Chase was one of those people that when you first met him, you would know him completely. He was full of positive energy and charisma. He was the vocalist in Just Add Water, with my son Caleb, as well as Ava, Andrew and Chris. They would practice in our basement and you would know when he was here. He’d stop in and talk for good while to my wife Kristen and I before the band started. If you had seen him with the band, you’d know right away this show was going to be exciting.
    You were a bright light Chase…may it shine forever.

  17. My sweet Chase. Thank you for always putting a smile on my face and finding space in your heart for me. I miss you now and forever. I love you.

  18. I remember Chase’s energy in the “Just add water” band. It was contagious! Caleb, Andrew, Ava and Chris; I pray for peace during this incomprehensible loss. And to Chase’s family, I pray for peace and guidance as you begin to process the unimaginable grief.

  19. Our love and prayers go out to the Filandro family.
    We were so blessed to have met and bonded with Chase at Kaylee’s wedding in May 2024. We had an instant connection, and he left a memorable lasting impression on us as a genuine, warm, funny, personable, and present loving spirit.
    What a wonderful creation of God, and he will be missed truly by all.
    Please feel our sincere condolences and heartfelt sympathies.
    We believe that Chase’s spirit will live in the hearts of those who were blessed to know him.

    Much love and aloha,
    Michael Voth and Neal Miller

  20. Chase,
    You have left a legacy that will endure forever. Peace, light, and love to those of us left behind to carry your torch. You should be proud of your immediate family forming a foundation in your memory at/for parks and the arts/NYC.

  21. Chase and I first met in kellenberg’s Drama club. Everyday when we had Drama practice, he always made it the best part of my day. He was the kindest person I have ever met and even though I was in 6th grade and he was in 11th grade he always made me feel included. Chase would always make me laugh, especially on days of the drama show when I was nervous. I was lucky enough to be able to be in another drama show with Chase. I was in 7th grade and chase was in 12th grade, and I was so excited that I got to write him a senior letter because since the 6th grade I looked forward to writing a letter to Chase. Chase was the very first letter I wrote because I wanted it to be the best one I wrote. I gave him the card and he told me that he would hang it up in his room and have it there forever; which made me feel like the most special person. He really made drama club feel like a family. I wish I had gotten to see Chase more after he graduated but I will always remember how amazing he was and how much I missed him after he graduated kellenberg. Chase never made anyone feel left out, he was always the brightest light in every room. I will miss you forever!
    I love you chase!❤️

  22. candleTo our Godson, Chase. I wish I had the right words to honor you. You are one in a million, a bright star that has always shined brightly. We have always been in awe of all your talents. We beamed with pride as we watched you in your many roles on stage. We listened with our hearts full of pride and joy as a singer in Just Add Water. At any moment when I would miss you Chase I would watch you on Instagram to hear your book reviews and learn about your travels. Chase, thank you for every memory you made with our family- from wrestling with Uncle Michael, hanging with your cousins Ashley and Abby and always making us feel so special. You loved freely and I can still always hear your words- I love you Aunt Laura. Chase we love you and will miss you more than anyone will know. To our Family: Tom, Cami, Franki and Dan, Ford and Emma we love you so much. Sending our love and prayers to all of you. We will be here for you today, tomorrow, and forever.
    With Love,
    Michael, Laura, Ashley, and Abby

  23. Tom and family,

    May Chase’s memory forever be a blessing. I pray for peace and comfort for each of you during this unimaginably painful time.

    Blessings to all of you,
    Ashlee

  24. Dear Tom and Filandro Family,

    I was deeply saddened to learn of Chase’s passing. While I did not have the opportunity to know him personally, I want to extend my heartfelt condolences. Please know that my thoughts are with you and your family during this incredibly difficult time.

    With deepest sympathy,

    Paula

  25. candleAlthough I didn’t know Chase, I worked with his father Tom a long time ago at Shearson. I was shocked and saddened to read about the death of his son. My condolences to all of Chase’s family and friends.

  26. candleAlthough I didn’t know you, I wish I did. You seemed like such a great person with an amazing smile. It’s sad to see you gone brother. I pray for the family and friends affected by this tragedy.

  27. Chase, I know you can’t read this but I don’t even know where to begin. I am absolutely heartbroken. You were a beautiful soul and were always so kind to me. You will forever be a part of my Atlantic family and I will never forget our wonderful sewing class together. We bonded over cowboy boots, classic literature, playing the guitar, of course acting, and so much more. I loved our facetimes with my family and how you called my grandma your grandma, trying to figure out how to use a thread and needle with you, and laughing over every crazy medical adventure I had (especially my bloody eye lol). It already feels so weird that I can’t just pick up the phone and call you and that I am no longer getting updates with your name on Goodreads. Oh Chase fly high man. I miss and love you so much.

  28. candleMy deepest condolences go out to the Filandro family. My heart breaks after hearing the sad news. May his memory be a blessing to the entire family. My prayers go out to Chase and the entire family. May God rest his soul…

  29. candleChase was a wonderful and talented young man. He was full of light and enthusiasm. He had such an affable spirit. I was grateful to know him as his teacher for 4 years at KMHS. We had great conversations, and he always made me laugh (even when I had on my “teacher face”). My condolences to all who loved and knew him. I am away this week, and cannot attend the wake, but I will make sure to donate to his memory. My prayers are for him, his family, and his friends. May perpetual light shine upon Chase.

  30. Dearest Cami and the Filandro Family

    My deepest sympathy to you all. May Chase rest in peace..

    With love and prayers

  31. Oh Chase! I remember how much joy you received when I gave you that cross stitching for Christmas and all the times that you loved seeing it. I loved watching your adventures from afar. I will think of you always when we go to Disney World! Much Love Renee & Keith!

  32. candleOh my goodness, what hurt so bad?
    Chase rest eternally, now in Peace.
    Your soul spoke to us with your smile, kindness and integrity. 🎚️

  33. candleEternal rest grant unto to Chase O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen.

  34. candleChase, you came into our lives and I instantly warmed to your presence in our home. Whether it was the ease with which you engaged in deep conversation, your quiet focus while crafting tiny clay figurines, or the joy you took in a plate of salmon and stir-fry noodles, you brought light and curiosity into every moment.

    You quickly became someone I deeply cared about, and I felt privileged to witness the beginnings of a remarkable creative journey—one that reflected your talent, humor, and insight.

    To Chase’s family and loved ones—my heart breaks for your loss. I hope the deep love that surrounds you and the memories of Chase’s extraordinary spirit bring you some comfort in the days ahead.

  35. candleChase was and still is a big inspiration for me. I remember when I was down in the darkest place imaginable he would smile at me every day and talk to me in the hallways, and I couldnt help but be happy when he was around. If it weren’t for him, I wouldve never joined drama club my junior year, or gotten so deep into music and singing. I cant begin to thank his family enough for raising such a wonderful boy who had such a large impact on everyone he met.

    To Chase, you were like one of many “older brothers that I’ve never had”. Our conversations at Just Add Water shows, those times you gave me the mic in the middle of songs and told me to sing because you saw me singing the lyrics in the crowd, the times we would just catch each other in the hallways and laugh about something completely random, and so many more that would take me hours to name. I love that I can look back on my experience with you and have 100% of them be happy memories, you were such a radiant person and wherever you went, bright lights followed.

    Rest easy brother, I love you and i’ll miss you every day. I dedicate my future performances in the world of arts in your honor. ❤️

  36. I still smile when I remember you singing, and that means something. Good byes are fleeting; memories are forever. Thank you for the music and those memories.

  37. Dear Chase,

    I still remember the moment i met you. I had just moved to huntington, and didn’t know anyone in town. when august rolled around and it was time for school, i sat alone on the bus while everyone already had their seat mates. it was lonely for a few days, until you noticed me. you had no idea who i was, but you still came up to me and asked if you could sit next to me. from that day forward, we sat next to each other every day when being driven to highschool. we bonded over games, music, and hobbies. i would always look forward to the start and end of the days for the chances to talk to you. you have completely changed my life chase, you have made highschool a better place for me. every day i thank you for making my world a better place, helping me to get out more, socialize, and to just not be afraid when wanting to make friends. you broke me out of my shell. thank you for being such a kind and genuine person. i’ll miss you for the rest of my life chase, i love you so very much and i pray you’re resting well. please always remember me

  38. I am deeply saddened from hearing of Chase’s passing.
    I have fond memories of working with Chase on our “Son of Gacy” movie. He was totally professional, and quite a good actor.
    But most of all he was pleasant, and fun to work with. He’ll be missed by everyone who knew him.
    Rest In Peace, Chase. — Pete Jacelone

  39. candleI am very sad that your physical form is gone.
    However, I do believe your spirit is eternal and will live on for infinity.

  40. We are brokenhearted to hear about Chase’s passing. We are keeping your family in our thoughts and prayers, wishing you strength during this difficult time.
