Cleveland Funeral Home & Cremation Services announces that Chad Singer, 39, a resident of Cumming, GA, passed away on February 5th from a congenital medical condition.
Chad was born on May 8, 1980, in Homestead, Florida to Jerry Singer and, the late, Deborah Kay (Pickens) Singer.
In November of 1980, he moved to Cleveland Ga with his parents where he grew up and attended school. He was active in Boy Scouts and loved camping. It wasn’t long after he got an Atari 5200 that he realized computers would be his life, and in 1996, he graduated White County High School and enrolled in the University of Ga and later North Georgia University to study computer programming. While in college, he led his computer class to several victories at various programming competitions. After college, in the days of dial-up internet, he set up a wireless internet provider company in Cleveland called White Lion. From there, he moved into telecommunications as a Voice Over Internet Protocol Architect for Cypress Communications. After six years, he moved to USAN as Senior Software Developer. In 2016, Chad’s career changed directions, and he began writing software as an independent contractor for the digital signage company, Convergent, while he set up his own software company, Protohype Services. Chad was a true genius, an unforgettable character, a hard worker, and an outspoken critic of incompetence and hypocrisy.
All who knew him will miss his fiery blue eyes, his hearty laugh, and his wicked sense of humor.
He is survived by his father, Jerry Singer, his stepmother, Dawn Miller Singer, his stepbrother, Alex Singer, his stepsister, Hannah Singer, and his grandmother, Dawn Singer of Fort Lauderdale.
