Life story

Cade, was a bright beacon of happiness for his family and friends. A son , grandson, nephew, cousin, brother and friend, Cade was and is special to many people, with over thousand people celebrating his life, we truly know in our hearts that his purpose was to encapsulate innocent joy. Cade was a sixteen year old boy with many ideas for his future, he enjoyed arts, such as music, movies and comedy. With a natural born athletic ability, hardworking attitude and growth mindset. we know cade would have excelled in anything he set his mind to, either that have been sports, entertainment, etc..

Have you ever met somebody who you can not comprehend how their mind works so wonderfully? like how did they come up with that joke so quickly? so Whitty, they always knew what to say and when to say it? Well that was cade, i like to say he was born with good comedic timing. many who have been blessed to converse with cade could and would agree, that he is a true gem.
