Chase Alexander Broussard

May 29, 1991 — May 26, 2018
Chase, a resident of Wexford, Pennsylvania, passed away Saturday morning May 26, 2018 at UPMC Shadyside Hospital after courageously fighting a rare lymphoma for the past 10 months.
Chase graduated from North Allegheny High School in 2009 and attended the University of Pittsburgh, where he graduated in 2013. He was an accomplished cross-country runner in high school and college. After graduation, he taught English in South Korea and Japan until May of 2017, traveling the world in his free time. Chase knew that success in running always depended upon his performance in the last kilometer. The last kilometer of his life was truly an inspiration to all of us and touched hundreds of people around the globe in a meaningful way.
