A Shining Light Gone Too Soon: Remembering Influencer Chase Filandro

The world has lost a bright star in influencer Chase Filandro, who passed away at just 20 years old. His sister, Franki Ford, took to Instagram to share the incredible impact Chase had on everyone around him, painting a picture of a guy who truly embraced life. Described as a vibrant traveler with a love for national parks, Chase made friends with everyone he met, and his joyful spirit will undoubtedly be missed. Is there anything more heartbreaking than losing someone who spread joy everywhere they went?

To honor Chase’s memory, his family is organizing contributions to a memorial at one of his favorite parks. Talk about leaving a legacy! They’ve already seen an outpouring of support on the GoFundMe page, enough to build not just one but two memorials—one close to home in New York. It’s amazing to see how a young man’s spirit can unite so many people, and it’s a reminder that even in tragedy, love and community can shine through.

With over 35,000 followers on Instagram and a role as a vocalist for the indie band Just Add Water, Chase’s influence will live on through his music and his adventures. Here’s a thought: if you could honor your favorite influencer, what would you do? A tribute for those who inspire us isn’t just a memory; it’s a celebration of their lives!
