James Lade Obituary
He went to join his Father in Heaven on Thursday, Sept. 18, 2008.
Jason was born in Tyler. He graduated from Frankston High School and Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches with a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration. He made his home in Longview and was a prudent businessman who loved the challenge of new business opportunities. On April 9, 2005, Jason married the love of his life, Kelsey Leann Rae. He was blessed with a beautiful daughter, Kinsey Alexandra Lade, on Nov. 2, 2007.
Jason loved his family. He delighted in family gatherings and was often the last to leave. Jason also loved his friends. A sports lover, he often invited all of his friends over to barbecue and watch whatever sporting event he could find. He lived to make the people he cared for happy, especially his wife and daughter. Jason loved to hunt and fish, cars and drag racing, his dogs, and celebrating life in general. He had an infectious smile and laugh. His greatest joy in life was watching his daughter grow and learn new things.
Jason was preceded in death by his grandfather, James William Lade Sr. of Frankston.
Those left to cherish his memory include his wife of three years, Kelsey Lade, and daughter, Kinsey Lade of Longview; his father, James William Lade Jr. and wife Cherylyn of Frankston; his mother, Connie Brannon Kitchen and husband Allen Kitchen of Hallsville; brothers, Jeremy Lade and wife Celeste of Frankston, Jamey Lade and wife Elizabeth of Tyler; and sister, Lindsey Line and husband Tim of Tyler; grandparents, Louise Lade of Frankston, and F.O. and Pauline Brannon of Mountain View, Ark.; parents-in-law, Tommy and Charlotte Rae of Longview; several aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews and countless friends.

If you were lucky enough to call my brother your friend, then you were truly blessed. He was a great brother. I can never remember seeing him without that big smile he always had. If I had a problem, he usually had a solution. It may not be the one I wanted to here, but none the less, I was going to here it. That is what big brothers do, try to help.
I could always count on him if I ever needed anything. I will never forget the time we got to spend together growing up.
I wish that his daughter Kinsey would have had a chance to known him better. He talked about getting her into Junior Dragsters(small drag racing cars powered by a lawnmower engine). He was so excited about having a family of his own. He loved his wife Kelsey very much. They just did not have enough time together.
There is not enough space to tell you how much Jason and my Dad will be missed. That void will not ever be filled for me. I do trust in the Good Lord Jesus Christ that I will see them again someday. I look forward to Christ's return with great anticipation. Because, in that moment I will see them again. Now, that will be a great family reunion.
Thank all of you for your kind words and prayers.

My precious nephew. Oh the memories we made together. From the time of your birth until your last week, we made memories. I am so thankful for all the time I spent with you the week of and prior to losing you. I will miss you every day. I am filled with grief.
You were such a wonderful little boy who grew into a loving man. Never too old to say "love you Aunt Debbie" as I would walk out your door.
Kelsey and Kinsey, I love you both so much. I wish I could do something to make this better. Just know that you can call me and I will be there.
Rest peacefully my precious one.

When I am dead, my dearest
When I am dead, my dearest,
Sing no sad songs for me;
Plant thou no roses at my head,
Nor shady cypress tree:
Be the green grass above me
With showers and dewdrops wet;
And if thou wilt, remember,
And if thou wilt, forget.
I shall not see the shadows,
I shall not feel the rain;
I shall not hear the nightingale
Sing on, as if in pain:
And dreaming through the twilight
That doth not rise nor set,
Haply I may remember,
And haply may forget.

Jason wasn't just a cousin to me. He was like my big brother growing up. This all feels like just a dream. I can't believe i'm writing in his guest book. He left behind so many people who loved him with everything in them. None of us will EVER be the same again. God only knows how much we are hurting. Jason was so full of life and had the most beautiful smile in the world. He loved his family and adored his wife and daughter. I'm so angry that there will be no future memories but thankful for the millions he did give us. I love you so much Jason. God has you in his keeping, but we have you in our hearts. Rest in Peace.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family. I graduated high school with Jason and even though I haven't seen him since, I will miss him greatly. He was a great friend to have. We had a lot of fun and laughs through our school years. I sure hate that we did not keep in touch and that I didn't get to know him as an adult, but I do know that I will one day see him again where we can share more laughs.
