Kade was avery special person. I knew them while a student at SAIC and we spent a lot of time together as classmates and friends. I’ll never forget Kade and my husband having a wasabi eating contest. They both achieved a new shade of purple. Kade really taught me so much and was a deep influence in my artwork and world view. My heart goes out to her family. Much peace and love to you all as we miss Kade.

During my time at SVA I enjoyed many conversations with Kade over the years, and did not just consider them a colleague but a friend. Kade was one of the kindest, realest people I knew, and my life, is definitely better from knowing them and having the opportunity to be around their spirit. Rest in Power.

I am heartbroken to hear of Kade's passing. Kade was an inspiration, and a role model for all. A true vision of light and love. Kade was a trailblazer who made the world just a little bit better for all. May this love extend far beyond your years, precious Kade.

I am so saddened when reading of Kade's passing. They were a true light in the world and was/is very much loved. Having only known them for a short time I have so much gratitude that I got the opportunity to feel their warmth and love for others. Rest in Power Kade

I've known Kade (and Kate) for nearly their entire tenure at SVA. I am absolutely heartbroken to learn of Kade's passing, and my thoughts are with their children, co-parent, and family. Kade leaves behind a wonderful legacy at School of Visual Arts and among their family and friends. I count myself very fortunate for having known Kade, whom I will miss very much.
