"Having a hard time missing my Mom today," he wrote on Instagram. "She was the happiest most positive person I've ever known and she was taken from me and my family way too soon."
Chad went on to recall how painful it was watching his mother battle cancer and suggested anyone going through the same trauma look into "alternative healing methods."
"Watching my mother go through #breastcancer and then #livercancer while being treated with #chemotherapy was the worst thing a person or a family could ever have to endure," he wrote. "Please people, look into a change of diet, a change of lifestyle, and natural healing methods such as cannabis oil. Give your loved ones a fighting chance."
