Caden Aaron “Cade” Boyle, age 9, of Early, went to be with the Lord on Sunday evening at his home surrounded by his family and friends.
A celebration of his life will be held at 10:30 am Thursday at the Abundant Life Church in Brownwood with burial to follow in the Eastlawn Memorial Park under the direction of Heartland Funeral Home of Early. Visitation will be held from 6 – 8 PM on Wednesday at the funeral home.
Caden was born May 25, 2004 in Brownwood, Texas. According to Cade, it was a good day for Early. Cade was a student at the Early Elementary School. He was a member of the Abundant Life Church.
Caden was a very courageous boy and was an inspiration to many as he bravely fought his illness. He was diagnosed with Ewings Sarcoma Cancer earlier. He lit up a room with his wit and smile. He demonstrated a faith that inspired many and always remained strong no matter what obstacles were before him. He became a “big game hunter” when the obstacles became heavy. His hobbies were going on bug hunts, playing video games with his cousin Logan, having iPad time with his sisters London and Hadley and playing with dinosaurs. He also enjoyed dancing and making funny family videos. Cade’s favorite animal was a honey badger, because the one thing they had in common was that they were tough and could handle anything in their path. He was a big football fan. He loved the outdoors and animals of all kinds.
The last paper Cade wrote in school he wrote “I love my life, my family is aswome and blest, now you know all about (my) life”.
He will be dearly missed by those who knew him.
