Crompvoets, Chase Daniel (11 APR 2000 - 28 NOV 2018)

Chase Daniel Crompvoets, formerly of Anaheim Hills, Calif., passed away on Nov. 28, 2018, in Chicago, Ill., after a brief illness.

He was 18 years old, born in Irvine, Calif., on April 11, 2000. Chase was a freshman at DePaul University where he studied communications and political science and pursued his passion for hip hop dance. Always an outgoing boy, Chase attended Imperial Elementary, El Rancho Junior High and Canyon High Schools in Anaheim Hills.

In high school, he was a member of several social clubs, and discovered urban/hip hop dance through the group, United Through Dance (UTD). He later joined “Indefinity,” a dance group where his skills continued to develop in dance and choreography.

Chase had many other passions and hobbies, including: anime, Mandarin, golf, drawing, cooking and photography, through which he grew intellectually and emotionally. Deep friendships were made in person and online, across the county and internationally. He touched many people in his short time with us.

At DePaul, Chase was successfully recruited into Lambda Phi Epsilon fraternity and became a member on Nov. 16 of this year. His fellow recruits and fraternity brothers surrounded him during his illness. Chase loved his friends, was fiercely loyal and supportive. His friends have such sweet memories of his caring, support, assistance with homework and sharing meals. With Chase, everyone was welcome and included.

Because of this, it’s not that surprising that Chase chose to be an organ donor. By 11 p.m. on Nov. 30, his heart was beating for a young woman in her 20s who was very sick. The rest of his organs have been successfully donated to others in need. While we know Chase is our angel, he is also an angel for others. His giving heart and nature continue on with others. It gives us peace to know he was loved and so generous.

Chase is survived by a loving family: his parents Charles and Kelly Crompvoets (Anaheim Hills, Calif.); sister, Madison; grandparents, Norbert and Bernadine Martens (Unity), and Cornelius and Irene Crompvoets (Westminster, Calif.); uncles, David and Steven Martens; aunt, Sandra (Tom) Katanjian; and cousins, Shyanne and Shaylee Martens and Monty Katanjian.

There was a viewing on Sunday, Dec. 16, 2018, from 4 to 8 p.m. at the Westminster Memorial Park Mortuary, 14801 Beach Blvd, Westminster, CA. A celebration of Chase’s life was held on Monday, Dec. 17, at 1:30 p.m. at Trinity Lutheran Church, at 4101 Nohl Ranch Road, Anaheim, CA.
