TIMETABLE CHANGE!!!The United States Navy and the family of Chase Alan Brouillette, 22, have invited the Patriot Guard Riders to accompany their Hero from the mortuary to the airport. It will be our honor to do so.
United States Navy Petty Officer 2nd Class Brouillette died from complications due to an automobile accident on July 19, 2023. He was serving at Twentynine Palms Naval Hospital. He was kept on life support in order to donate organs, including his heart, to those in need before his final breath.
Chase graduated from Bishop Carroll Catholic High School and immediately enlisted in the Navy. He graduated Boot Camp second in his class with Honors, and then continued to graduate Hospital Corpsman School with honors and in the top ten percent. He was initially stationed at Walter Reed Memorial Hospital, until recently moving to Naval Hospital Twentynine Palms for his next duty station. He was applying for Navy SEAL training in August.
Chase had a way of impacting lives for the better, both directly and indirectly, by always striving to be the best version of himself. Whether it was rock climbing, pursuing his calling to be a Navy SEAL, mentoring others on health and fitness journeys, or driving halfway across the country overnight to support a loved one, his passion and loyalty were unwavering. He was driven by his deep faith, personal convictions, sense of integrity, and sacrificial nature. Chase's humility and selflessness will leave a legacy for his loved ones to cherish. May he rest in the peace which he fought to preserve for others.
