Chase Ryan O'Malley

Chase Ryan O’Malley, 31, passed away in Las Vegas, Nevada. Born in Stuart, Florida, Chase lived a life defined by creativity, humor, and fearless self-expression.

Funny, vibrant, and a true entertainer, Chase had a magnetic presence. Music was at the heart of who he was — it was how he connected, celebrated, and shared joy with others. Whether performing at karaoke or taking the stage at open mics, Chase felt most alive when singing and performing, bringing laughter and energy wherever he went.

Chase was also deeply passionate about drag. Performing under the name Prince ElectroDiamond, they embraced drag as both art form and a means of empowerment. A devoted fan of drag artists, Chase was inspired by their confidence, creativity, and resilience, and was proud to meet several performers who influenced his own drag journey. Through drag, Chase expressed authenticity, courage, and joy — and encouraged others to do the same.

Chase was a proud gay man. He cared deeply about gay rights and the LGBTQ+ community, living openly and unapologetically as himself. Chase believed in the power of visibility, love, and chosen family, and he celebrated people for exactly who they were. Above all, Chase will be remembered for the light he brought into every room — the laughter, the music, the sparkle, and the way he made others feel seen and welcomed. His spirit was bold, loving, and unforgettable.

Chase is survived by his loving sister, Meg O’Malley, and his father, Paul O’Malley. He was preceded in death by his mother, Lisa O’Malley.

A service celebrating Chase’s life will be announced at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Chase’s memory to The Trevor Project, an organization that supports LGBTQ+ youth and holds great meaning in honoring the values Chase lived by.
