Cade Thomas Stoddard, 16 years of age, born December 13, 2000, in Rexburg, Idaho returned to his Father in Heaven June 2, 2017 at Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center in Idaho Falls, Idaho.
Cade is survived by his mother, Tiffnie Ann Denson Stoddard and his father, Gregory Layne Stoddard of Salem, Idaho, as well as siblings Connor Layne, Ciera Ann, and Cort Jace. Cade was loved by grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, teammates, church leaders, and many, many others. Cade loved everyone he associated with!
Cade loved to spend time with his siblings, friends, and team mates playing board games, PlayStation, and puzzles. Cade loved to play soccer and basketball at school and in the backyard with his friends and brothers. Cade has some of the best friends in the world!
Cade was an avid fan of the Utah Jazz and Pittsburgh Steelers. Cade's only passion that was stronger was cheering on the Sugar Salem Diggers no matter the sport or activity. Cade wanted to be on the first Sugar Salem team to bring home a state title in Soccer. Cade will be cheering his teammates on from the sideline. Cade is and always will be one of Sugar Salem's biggest fans.
Cade enjoyed going on trips with his family and teasing his older and younger siblings with his witty sense of humor. Cade enjoyed 4-wheeling and camping with his family.
Cade received the Aaronic priesthood and was ordained a priest. He loved fulfilling his duty in the priesthood by passing, preparing, and blessing the sacrament. Cade especially enjoyed taking the sacrament to those who couldn't make it to church. Cade loved to give lessons in his church classes and learning about the Plan of Salvation. Cade gave service whenever he could and was a friend to all. Cade is truly one of Helaman's Stripling warriors. Cade was preparing to go on a mission and wanted to go to Germany. Cade has now been called to serve a mission on the other side of the veil.
