The Gloversville, New York community is mourning the heartbreaking loss of Chayse Renyak, whose passing at just 13 years old has left an immeasurable void in the hearts of his family, friends, and all who knew him. Taken far too soon on April 9, 2026, Chayse’s life, though brief, was filled with love, laughter, and meaningful connections that will never be forgotten.
Chayse Renyak was a beloved son, a treasured family member, and a loyal friend. Born on July 17, 2012, in Gloversville, he brought joy and warmth into the lives of those around him from the very beginning. His kind spirit, playful nature, and genuine heart made him someone others were naturally drawn to. Whether spending time with friends, sharing laughter, or simply being present in the lives of those he loved, Chayse made every moment count.
To his closest friends, Chayse was more than just a companion—he was like family. He shared a special bond with those he grew up alongside, creating memories filled with adventure, mischief, and joy. From trips together to simple days spent playing and laughing, those moments now stand as cherished reminders of a life that, while short, was deeply impactful. The friendships he built, especially those formed in childhood, speak to the kind of person he was—loyal, fun-loving, and full of life.
We extend our deepest condolences to Chayse’s mother, Judith “Judy” Renyak, and to all his family members, friends, and loved ones who are grieving this unimaginable loss. Losing a child is a sorrow beyond words, and our hearts are with them as they navigate this profound grief. May they find comfort in the outpouring of love and support from the community and strength in the memories they hold dear.
Chayse’s life reminds us all of the beauty and fragility of time. Though his years were few, the love he gave and the joy he shared will continue to live on in the hearts of those who knew him. His gentle soul, bright spirit, and the happiness he brought to others will never be forgotten.
As we honor and remember Chayse Renyak, we hold onto the moments he gave us and the love he left behind. May he rest in eternal peace, forever loved and always remembered.
