They will never stop loving Cade, and his memory will endure in their hearts. He had a laugh that was contagious, and because of the contagiousness of his laugh, everyone would laugh with him. He was ecstatic to be a member of the football team for the Mustangs, a team he closely watched, and enjoyed fishing constantly. The time he got to spend with his girlfriend Kallie Jordan’s family was also something he treasured. The pallbearers for the funeral service will be Derrick Jordan, Greg Thompson, Peter Hastings, John David Hastings, Andy Pittman, and Justin Rhodes.
The honorary coffin bearers will be the West Jones High School football team.
