Los Angeles, CA, USA
An Extraordinary Human
Kade Edward Kennon, born August 13, 1996, passed away on September 12, 2025, in Los Angeles, California, at the age of 29.
Kade will be remembered for his wonderful sense of humor, his kind and gentle spirit, and the warmth he carried into every space he entered. He had a gift for making people laugh and feel at ease, and those who knew him will never forget the joy he brought into their lives.
A true movie buff, Kade’s passions included music, theater, and film, especially the unforgettable performances of Marlon Brando and the wit and charm of Gene Wilder. His love of theater began early, where he shined in high school productions that friends and family still recall with admiration. Living in Los Angeles was a dream fulfilled, keeping him close to the movie sets and heroes who inspired his imagination.
Beyond his love for performance, Kade found purpose in caring for others. As an LVN and CNA, he worked with the elderly, offering not only skill but also compassion, patience, and dignity to those in his care. His kindness touched the lives of many and reflected the depth of his generous heart.
He is survived by his brother, Derek Ahrens, who loved him dearly; Derek’s wife, Mesha; and his beloved niece, Kenna. Kade’s love for Kenna was boundless, and his presence will always remain with her. He also leaves behind a wide circle of family and friends who will hold his memory close and carry his spirit with them always.
Kade shared a deeply special bond with his grandmother, Reva, who passed in 2022, and he cherished his mother, Roxanne, who passed in 2023. Their love guided and shaped him throughout his life, and we know he is now reunited with them in love and laughter.
Those of us who knew Kade grieve deeply, but we also find comfort in remembering the love he shared and the joy he brought into so many lives. He touched countless hearts, and we take comfort in knowing he now rests in peace.
A memorial service will be planned at a later date, with details shared with family and friends.
Kade’s humor, kindness, and love for family, film, theater, and caring for others will forever live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.
One of Kade’s favorite poems was John Milton’s sonnet "How Soon Hath Time." It feels fitting to share its opening lines in his memory:
“How soon hath Time, the subtle thief of youth, Stolen on his wing my three-and-twentieth year! My days are hurrying on with full career, Yet my late spring shows neither bud nor bloom.”
