Fond memories/stories of Kade

5/25/04 I remember when me and Kade first met, we got in a fight cuz he kicked the kick ball at me and it hit me in the face. I threw the ball at his his head. we were in 6th grade at RRCA and we went from there. we got into to skating and stuff, he liked skate boardin but i like rollerblades. i would go over to his house EVERY day and we would skate for hours and go and skate at the Wag-A-Bag and the Car wash. we got kicked out of wag-a-bag cuz we were skatin inside. those were the best of times....years went by a he went to public school, we still hung out but not as much. when high school came were barely ever hung out. when 10th grade came we never talked and he was sick at that time, i end up goin to military school with the plan of seein him spring break...I went to Military School the day he passed...I didnt find out he passed till a month later, it hit me hard cuz i was hoping to at least say bye. I want to say bye to Kade, he was a true Bro, we hadnt hung out in a while but he was still a bro. By Kade, Love u man....... -Phillip Ward-

4/1/04 Kade was a great guy, I loved him with all my heart, we always used to skate together, my condolences for your son love...Mike V

1/23/04 I didn’t know Kade all that much...  but what i do remember is that he was an awesome guy... he was in my algebra class and my english class.... he was always a fun guy to hang around with.... everyone knew him... i want to publicly say: “Rest In Peace my good friend Kade Hall... everyone loves and misses you bro”... ur friend.. Shady Issa

1/18/04 So, yes this is silly.. But that's kade...... so it was me, my best friend heather kyle & robbie. My mom piled us all into her van, and headed off to the mall. We got there and Kade was like Let me buy you guys something, so all the boys bought me & heather some panties, BAD i know.. haha, but it was hilarious all at once. Kade would pick up the undies and be like Why is there a pocket and this one? He just made the best out of things, and just was absolutely hilarious..... I miss that boy, more and more everyday! I remember... In 7th grade when he came & was new, oh boy he was the new hot boy in town and every girl wanted to 'go out with him' Lucky me!!! I got to! we went out for like a week...haha but he was always so sweet and would come to my locker, & walk me to my class. Just a real flirty boy that all girls dreamed to 'go out with'. SO so so precious that Kade is!!! also.. one time he came over with the boys.. and as soon as he walked into my house, he goes OH MAN NEXT PARTY WE'RE COMING HERE!!!! I don't know why but he was like wooo nice house, so sweet and called my mom ma'am! He brought so much joy & happiness in everyone’s life! That was his job and he accomplished it! I'm happy knowing he's alive now with Jesus... he's looking over us cracking a joke. Or laughing at because we are sad & missing him, Because he's happy & not suffering! silly us…One more thing... my friend informed me of this when we were at the viewing. She said 'I was just waiting for Kade to get up out of that coffin and say " JUST KIDDING GUYS! DID I SCARE YOU!" .. KADE RIGHT? i balled when she told me that just because that is kade... we love you & miss you kader gater!!!! but can't help but smile because you're with Jesus!!! all my love--lindsey

1/10/04 hey! i knew kade from cedar valley we had some really funny times hanging out after school.. i feel bad i didnt really keep in touch with the guys that went to round rock.. mostly kade.. he was a great guy and i really enjoyed hanging out with him i remember after school one day when we were just sitting on the curb and he had a crayon or something, i dunno, but he drew his "small diagram" on the concrete and it stayed there for like a week or two it was hilarious and kade was one of the few guys who could really make me laugh i remember when kade kyle and robbie came over to kellys house at midnight and kellys mom came in the room and they had to hide in the closet but they didnt get there fast enough. haha that was sooo funny! i also remember those times we’d hang out at weses just watching you guys sk8 those were great times and ill always cherish them! kade would always call me "brittany marie mckay” because he thought it sounded like a Hollywood name or something but it was always soo funny! he also liked the saying "give me a quarter porter" i dunno us girls were strange and called laura that but he’d always say it ! I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER YOU KADE! NO ONE WILL FORGET! ~ Brittany Marie Mckay!

1/9/04 Back in the day when the ELESTAR crew would hang out at Trents house we would get on Trents computer and listen to music and there was this song from The End for Andrew Reynolds part and Kade had this rap that went to it and it would just make the whole just crack up, it is one of the funniest things I have ever heard. -Yvan R.

1/9/04 ha..i remember one time on Christmas day me and Kade were out on the trampoline before Christmas dinner..i did a back flip and he was like 'that was awesome let me try' so he does it and flys right off of the tramp and lands on the ground on his back..we were both laughing so hard we could barely eat Christmas dinner!! Kade I miss you and love you soo much..cant wait to see you someday -loving cosin courtney pinkston

1/08/04  I met Kade in the eight grade, we had the same teachers. I remember one day when our team of teachers had a Science Olympics. It was about 100 or so students showing of their science projects. The whole day was spent outside doing games and projects ... while one game was going on most of us girls were sitting on the curb watching. Everyone was pretty bored for a long time, but then out of no where Kade got up in front of all of us and started dancing! It made us all crack up and even some of our teachers were laughing. That's what Kade was best at ... he always made people laugh even in the most boring situations. It's sad to see him go ... but i know he is in a much better place. -love, Taneka Ramirez

1/8/04 So of course it was summer and we were hanging out. the cool ones. me colie robbie kyle kade jonny steven wes kara. all at jonnys (thats where it was at) and the tv was on the weather channel. nobody was actually watching tv and out of nowhere kade goes "whats all that blue stuff?" and we all look and nobody sees any "blue stuff" so finally he gets up and points it out. and someone goes, "kade, thats the gulf of mexico" and of course kade played it off really well but thats one of the things i remember about kade. that and thumb wars. what a great summer. i miss him and all those kids. -kellye patterson

1/8/04 I didn't really know Kade he was my older sisters friend but I heard so many great things about him and i just knew he was a great guy. My sister tried to get me and him together once it was funny. But even though i didn't know him my sis was always talking about him. Well I knew I just had to say something. -Much love, Millie SPHS

1/8/04 Kade- Wow i dont even know where  to begin, he is just such an amazingly loving and caring person.. he poured out SO much love to everyone.. There is just way to many memories i just wouldn’t know where to begin, like the very first time me and kade started dating/when i first met him.. I sort of thought he was weird honestly(mainly because i didnt know his personality then) no one really did really.. it was at Nicoles house.. he got on the floor and starting Meowing like a cat! I thought it was odd.. but now i know it was freaking HILARIOUS! or all the times that him, kyle, Robbie and the others would Try to flow, Kade always made everything SO funny. Ill never forget the day he sang the song "everything"(i think) by stereo fuse.. he sang that song to me.. of course i laughed it was just so cute and funny hearing him try so sing that was also the day that before i left his house he cried on my shoulder asking my why.. why him? why did this have to happen to him.. he ! never would have imagined.  i would just say "i dont know kade but you dont deserve it, noone does, but there is a reason for everything." Also The time were all the guys were over @ my house.. and Kade suggest they move my trampoline next to my house so they could Jump from my roof on to the Tramp.. then me and kade forgot that i had a hole in the tramp and he feel right through it! Or the night we pretty much slept out on my trampoline, that was funny it was cold but fun! The late night trips to wendys, him BEGGING me to drive the car.. never did i trust him :( sad but true... I was affraid he would try to be funny and run us off the road HAHA. Just all the memories and the wonderful months shared with my 3 stooges (robbie kyle kade) and me nicole chelsea.. it was always us 6 for the LONGEST time, w0w that was greattttttttttt. WOW i remember the most DISCUSTING thing that i know would just gross the guys out.. one day at Keiler we were all sitting there, and they all liked ! to do those jack ass videos and they all decided to take a big poop(yes i know gross but its OKAY it was funny), video tape it and let us watch it!! and guess who recorded it... "KADE". just the fun times that we all had and watching the guys, and how mcuh fun they had...Theres SO much more.. I dont want to take up all the room.. Kade is so amazing.. he has my heart*FOREVER* i am handling this pretty well because i KNOW that he is happy now i just KNOW, i hated seeing him suffer, it was definitely the hardest thing i have EVER done in my whole entire life.. yes there are words that were left unsaid.. but he knows that i loved him, that i cared, i made it clear, i am so happy that i got to say goodbye. i will be so happy when the day comes when i get to see his beautiful Smiling face again. He is watching over us, ijust know it! He definitely lived a happy and fun filled life, which is good. I will never forget you Kader Tader, ur aLWAYS going to b n my heart, my best guy fri! end as well.. .no one will ever be able to take your place, not in a hundred years. I wish i could have taken your place, i wish i could have replaced myself with your pain, because i would have done it in a heartbeat. you didnt deserve any of this, NO WAY did you ever.. Noone deserves to pass away.. but its in gods hands now, God has a plan for everyone, we cant all be selfish, it was his turn. He just wanted you so bad kade, he missed you! Just SO many memories..

1/8/04 Haha I remember one day the whole "crew" back in summer 2002 were all at Wes' house. Me and Kade were sitting on the ramps outside of Wes' house talking and everyone went inside except Wes' little brother and sister. So we told them if they went inside we'd give them each a dollar so we did and they went inside but came back 2 seconds later cuz we didn’t tell them how long they had to be in there. So then I told them to go make me and Kade a shirt so they did. Wes' brother made Kade this shirt with a skateboarder person on it falling down and his head bleeding and the little sister made me a shirt with a ballerina on it. It was cute, but it only took them like 10 minutes so they were about to come back out so me and Kade ran and hid on the side of the house behind some bushes. So Wes' brother and sister thought we were missing so everyone comes out and goes around the whole neighborhood looking for us or just chilling so me and Kade got up like 20 minutes later and go find everyone and I had my new ballerina shirt on. haha, I still have it. I know Kade's watching down on all of us helping us keep our heads up. I can't wait to see him again one day. -love always, kara morrison

1/7/04 I knew Kade at Cedar Valley and I remember he would call me little pee pee I didn’t really like it but it didn’t matter it was funny Kade was one of those guys that could always put a smile on your face no matter what I’ll never forget you man. -Phillip P. (aka pee pee)

1/7/04 The first time I met Kade was at Adam's Halloween party in 8th grade. I walked outside, and I saw him sitting on a chair and I went over and we were kind of talking. He really was a funny kid. Everybody decided it would be fun to wrestle, so all the guys and some of the girls were pairing off, seeing who they were going to wrestle. Kade and I wrestled, it was so much fun. After that, we all went up stairs and were just hanging out, me and Kade were with each other the whole night. From then on, we were really good friends. I want to thank you for bringing such a wonderful, and genuine person into this world. Our loss is tragic, but he is in a much better place now. We all love him so much, and he will forever be in our memories. -love, Alexandra Nagar

1/7/04 I am one of Kade’s nurses when he was in the PICU at Methodist. Kade was such a wonderful blessing and he taught me ALOT about life, faith & trust in God!!!  But I was also able to see Kade’s "humorous & playful" side at times too...the day he was taken off the ventilator...he thought it would be fun to scare the nurses...so he acted like he couldn't breath and freaked his nurse Tracie. Then later that afternoon I was changing a dressing on his arm and he grabbed me and made me let out a little scream ~ I thought I had hurt him, but when I looked at him he was laughing!!!  Another cute thing he did was...as soon as he was able to start talking again...he asked if I had a younger sister ~ what a flirt too!!!  In the short month & 1/2 that I knew him, he left me with sooooo many wonderful memories!!!  I will FOREVER remember Kade and I will miss him so much!!!  Love & Miss ya Kade ~ Trudy :)

1/7/04 I remember the day Kade let me borrow his skateboard, when he comforted me when I got news of my grandma's death. I will never forget the kindness he showed me, now he's gone, but his legacy will live on forever in the hearts of those he touched. Let us all be an example of Kade and show the same kindness to all around us. May you forever rest in peace with God. -Grant Williams

1/6/04 One day Kade and Adam came to my house, and Kade knocked on the door and Adam was on the side of my house and I didn’t know. He had the camera video taping, and I answered the door, and Kade told me to go out there, so I walked out and Kade pushes me on the grass and runs in my house and locks me out. Then he finally opens the door and he and Adam stared laughing at me. I was about to go to soccer practice, and I was putting my soccer bag in the back of the car, and I didn’t know Adam was still video taping this, and Kade pantses me. I started laughing, and I just stood there in shock and didn’t know what to do, so I ran in my car and just sat down. Then the next week practically the whole school had seen the video. -love, Amy Hodgson

1/6/04 I was one of Kade's many friends from Cedar Valley and I just wanted to let you know that your family is in my family's thoughts and prayers. I just look at it as he fought as long and as hard as he could but now he is in a better place without suffering! Once again your family is in our thoughts and prayers! -Thanks, Natassia

1/5/04 Kade always made the funniest video skits. Kade and me made skit: the pool table bet. Kade was always so good at thinking of something funny to make a video out of. -Kyle G

1/5/04 It iced over and me and Kade decided to try and skate on the ice, then I see Kade falling down right on his nose and broke it, it started bleeding and he started crying. I didn't mean to laugh, but you know how it is, it was funny the he fell. -Robbie

1/5/04 Kade got the idea to make a skate bails video and took all the skate clips of falls and bad falls too and put it in a video. I got the idea to add the weird al funny polka songs to make it funnier. In summer 2002, I taught Robbie, Kyle, Kade, and Chris to ride a dirt bike. Kade picked up the skills fairly quickly and we had a blast riding. Robbie also brought his 4-wheeler. The land we were riding on also had cows, and Kade decided to pump Kyle on the 4-wheeler, but Kyle didn’t realize he had stepped in a cow patty and got cow crap all over the back of the 4-wheeler and some on Kade's back. And who had to clean it up? Yep, they looked to me. -Britt
