Siliana Gaspard, Shad Gaspard's wife, issued the following statement via her social media:
Aryeh, myself and the Gaspard and Chittick families would like to take this time to thank everyone for their prayers and support, as we mourn the terrible loss of our beloved Shad.
Shad was our whole world and we were his. There are not enough words to describe what he means to all of us. He was our heart, our soul, our protector, our warrior. He was a bright force of nature, who brught joy to many through his joyous and gracious nature. .
The outpouring of love from Shad’s friends, colleagues and fans has meant more to us than you can even imagine. .
We’d like to once again thank the lifeguards, coast guard, divers, fire and police departments for their efforts.
Shad was and will always be our real life super hero.
I love you more, my love ??
-Proudly,
Siliana Gaspard
