To know Kade was to love Kade.

Kade Connor McIlvain was born in Los Alamos, NM on June 8th, 2001, and although not altogether planned, he was the most wonderfully precious gift to us and his two beautiful brothers. He was baptized at 6 days old and then moved when he was two weeks old to Montana. He is the youngest of three boys all born within 3 and ½ years of each other; Kade idolized and loved his big brothers, Riley and Braden.

Kaders was such a bright light in our lives and so many others. He always made people feel comfortable and was able to keep everyone laughing with his quick wit and silly humor. He loved to tease his mom by hiding the UPC stickers off his apples (he LOVED apples), he would place the stickers all over in places that she could not reach. We are still finding apple stickers all over our house.

Kade was so grateful for his amazing friends and constantly shared the wonderful things about the people in his life who were true friends and such amazing people.

Kade LOVED his brothers. He was an amazing brother and son. We know how much Kade loved all of us and his love was immeasurable. He wanted so much to be a superhero to the world and for us. We know our world is a darker, less joyful place without our beautiful boy, but heaven has a bright and glorious light in our Kaders. We will love him fiercely and unendingly until our last breaths when we get to see him again.

Services will be held Thursday, October 10 at 6pm at the Grace Bible Church in Laurel, Montana.
