His passing was sudden and heartbreaking, and we are still struggling to comprehend a world without his light.

His love for animals was unmatched—he cared deeply for every creature, especially his four beloved dogs and his bird, Cosmo.

The GoFundMe page also read: “Any contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference and help ease some of the weight on his family as they navigate this loss. If you are unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser is deeply appreciated.

Following Chad Spodick’s death, Robert Sepúlveda Jr. took to Instagram and wrote: “Chad was a contestant on a television we filmed almost 10 years ago - out of respect for his family, I’m not going to speak about the cause of his passing, because it has not been confirmed publicly.

“What I do want to talk about is mental health awareness. Moments like this remind us how important it is to check in on each other, to uplift one another, and to talk to people while they are still here. That is what truly matters.

“It has been difficult to watch some press outlets use this moment to bring up old and irrelevant details about me from almost a decade ago. I would appreciate it if journalists stopped inserting my name into his obituary. This moment is not about me. It is about Chad, his family, and honoring his life with dignity.

“To be transparent, I did not have a relationship with Chad after filming the show. We didn’t speak again, we were not connected on social media, and I had no insight into his personal life or what he was going through. We simply filmed a television show together nearly a decade ago. That was the extent of our connection, and I think it’s important to clarify that.

“Journalists have a responsibility to be truthful, accurate, and sensitive in their reporting. Media coverage can deeply impact people’s mental health, reputations, families, and stability. Irresponsible reporting has contributed to countless tragedies, and the industry needs to acknowledge the consequences of sensationalism. Words matter. And they can cause real harm.

“Every contestant from that show has lived a full decade of life since then. We’ve built careers, families, businesses, and accomplishments that far overshadow anything that happened on a reality show. If stories are going to be written, write about Chad’s achievements, his passions, and the life he lived. Reach out to the contestants and ask what they’ve been doing. Tell uplifting stories. Do better.

“This moment calls for compassion, truth, and responsibility. Let’s honor Chad by focusing on what truly matters: his life, his legacy, and the people who loved him. And let’s honor one another by choosing kindness and integrity in how we speak, write, and remember.”
