Rodney Arthur Cade

Our year has passed, and the world keeps changing. I still think often, about experiences that I would’ve shared with my friend. His face and his words keep appearing in my consciousness as I go through life’s lessons. There’s so much I wish I could’ve shared with him.
Still, seeing how Linda has grown and taken on the mantle of responsibilities, I know Rod would’ve been so very proud! Her survivor abilities are stunning....Even to the point of stacking wood for the...

Hey Cade,

Remember all the Thanksgiving's we spent together. I think we all spent 20 or so together.

Remember watching our children being born and grow. Our Rio Dell walks. Our talks. And fires!! You were the best bonfire builder ever. You were even on the forest fire starter list, but thankfully you didn't rank high. A first for you, not ranking high at something. But your one, was a good one. You were good at everything.

Remember one Thanksgiving we were...

Rod and I became friends due to our common interest in music, specifically guitar-oriented music.

Before Rod and Linda relocated to Willow Creek, he and I often met for lunch, ALWAYS in a Mexican restaurant and ALWAYS searching for the ultimate chile relleno and the tastiest tamale.

I love to travel as did Rod and Linda, especially after they obtained their Mercedes Sprinter. Rod and I compared notes and suggestions regarding destinations, experiences and things to do along the...

I will remember his kindness, compassion and humor. What a loss to the world.

As I've said too many times over the past 2 weeks, . . . I find it hard to imagine a world in which I can't call my friend Rod, to ask question about guitars, or building something, or fixing one of my tools, or parenting, or just screwing around. We just moved homes, and as I was handling the physical pieces of my life, Rod kept creeping into my thoughts.

I go way back to knowing Dr Cade since 1980. Linda was a nurse at Redwood Memorial and I worked in the Pharmacy Dept. He was my Dr for many yrs. He really listened to me which was so wonderful and special. Our kids were friends in high school and we saw each other at many school events. He was a joy to be around and always so kind. I am deeply saddened to hear of his death. He will be so missed. His children are just at the age to give him grandchildren. Sounds like he accomplished more in...

Dr. Cade was our family physician for many years. He was kind and caring, and always took the time to listen and provide great advice and care. I will also remember those times in Scotia when I would have to call him at home late at night when an employee needed medical assistance. He would always respond courteously and with great empathy, getting out of bed (many times after midnight!) to meet us at his office and he was always cheerful and kind. My condolences to the family, we have...

As a long time patient of Dr Cade, it is with heavy heart to lose such a great asset to our community. I spent many visits teasing him about getting eaten by sharks surfing at the North Jetty. He will truly be missed.
