Life story
More than anything Cade was a remarkable young man. He was so smart, excelling in math and science. Cade fought a long battle with melanoma, but he never complained, loved his friends, inspired others and always volunteered to serve through school or church. Cade enjoyed making others laugh with his quick humor and he loved playing baseball, basketball and video games. His relentless desire to never give up and his faith in God gave others strength. Cade was a fighter to the end and he will be greatly missed.
