William Snegirev Obituary
Cade accomplished so much in his short life. He was an avid reader and loved outdoor high adventure. He loved Palmer Alaska and was home on the "Butte". At 12 Cade hiked 23 miles through the Bomber Glacier Trail. He traveled through Europe and the Holy Land with his grandparents in 2011. In Israel he was able to gather olive leaves in the garden of Gethsemane, because of this experience he gained a testimony of the Savior and his Atoning sacrifice. Cade ran his first marathon in Anchorage last year, placing 3rd in his age division. He was a member of the Pioneer Peak 4-H Club and had raised many animals, including a grand champion reindeer. Cade was a sophomore at Palmer High School, where he played the trumpet in the Jazz band. He loved math, music and learning which lead to his love of architecture and engineering.
Cade had many good friends and was happiest when he was with his buddies. He was a gatherer, everyone felt they had something in common with Cade. He loved his family and his brother and sisters adored him. His kindness and gentle heart was unmatched.
Cade was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. He took his priest hood responsibilities seriously and served with honor. He loved scouting and was working towards his Eagle.
Through our faith and sure knowledge of Christ's plan, we know that we will see our darling boy again.
Cade is survived by his parents, William and Lori Snegirev; brother, Heath; sisters, Cullen , Haylee, Avi and Ellery; birth mother, Alene Root; grandparents, Jane and Kerry Petersen; grandmother, Dorothy Arndt; great grandparents, Jack and Irene Petersen; numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins.
He was preceded in death by his grandfather, Gale William Arndt.
Funeral services will be held at the LDS Palmer Chapel on 02/08/2014, at 10 a.m.

As the people were leaving the cemetery today and we were filing past Cade's family, both his Mother and Father hugged me. I so wanted to say something profound, but "I'm so sorry for your loss" just sounded so lame at a time like this. When the wound is so deep to your souls I could not think of anything that would be appropriate to say that could express the extreme sadness I felt for what you must be going through. Cade was a very good friend for my grandson, Anthony Lewis. I had met Cade a few times when he was out doing stuff with Anthony. He was an awesome guy! You were all very blessed to have had him in your family. I just can't imagine losing a child. I was doing pretty good at the entire funeral proceedings until you both gave me that hug there at the cemetery. For you to be in so much pain, and still reached out to others to help them to feel comfort was just overwhelming to me. I appreciate the strength that you both have. My thoughts are with you and your family with all of my heart.

You don't know me, but I heard about William because I'm friends with Alene on Facebook. I just want you to know that you have been in my thoughts and prayers. My mother suddenly passed away just a few weeks ago and although my experience is not exactly like yours, I know that it meant a lot for me to hear that others were mindful of me and my pain. Like you, I have a testimony of the Savior and I'm so grateful for the promise of the Resurrection. I pray that you can feel the love of Heavenly Father sustaining you during this most difficult time. Please forgive me if this message is intrusive, I just want you to know that I'm adding my prayers to the many that are being uttered on your behalf.

Cade has touched so many lives and is missed very much. Everyday that goes by I meet someone that knows Cade. Cade your son, grandson, brother, nephew, uncle, and friend has been loved, is loved and will always be remembered for his smile and wonderful personality. Remember, as the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.
