Jade DASHIELL Obituary

Jade Lorena Dashiell, 41, from Santa Rosa passed away on May 21, 2014. She was born August 3, 1972 in Lakeview, Oregon to Loren and Kate Bucher. Jade grew up in Alturas, California, moving to Redding, California where she attended 7th grade and met two lifelong friends, Tracy and Casey. Jade graduated from Modoc high school in 1990. After high school, she moved to Santa Rosa where she began her higher education at Santa Rosa Junior College and later graduated from Sonoma State University with a BS in Sociology. She married Larry Dashiell in 1998 and together they had three beautiful boys. Jade was the office manager for Dr. Mike Neil's dental practice in Healdsburg for 14 years before deciding to stay home with her three children. She was a devoted and loving mother and an avid volunteer in the community. Jade devoted her many talents to organizations to include Catholic Charities, Junior League and the Bennett Valley Unified School District, and serving for several years on the board of the Alliance of Parents and Teachers. There was rarely a day she wasn't seen at her boys' schools giving her time in the classroom, library and the schoolyard as well as participating in many school events. When she had a free moment she loved to walk Spring Lake. Jade was a loving, generous, vibrant individual with a contagious smile. She had an incredible ability to touch many people. She loved to entertain and her great attention to detail made her an impeccable hostess. Her big smile and infectious laugh were the beginnings of many parties. Jade was an active and energetic mom. She enjoyed dirt and mountain bike riding, golfing, skiing, Frisbee golf and countless spontaneous adventures with all of her boys. She also made time for one-on-one adventures with each of the boys. Her other hobbies included playing football, Zumba, yoga, dancing and hiking with friends. Jade was also extremely close to her mother who is a very involved grandma. Jade is survived by her sons, Evan (14), Joel (11), Drew (7); her spouse, Larry Dashiell; and her mother Kate Bucher. She is preceded in death by her father, Loren Bucher and survived by an uncle, several aunts, cousins and mother in law Bonnie Martin. Her numerous friends and family have been sharing tears and fond indelible memories of Jade since learning of her tragic death. Jade's love, wonderful spirit, joy and talents will be celebrated at a memorial service at Daniel's Chapel of the Roses, 1225 Sonoma Ave. in Santa Rosa at 10 a.m. on Friday May 30, 2014. Friends are invited to attend a celebration of her life following the memorial service at the Friedman Event Center, 4676 Mayette Avenue, Santa Rosa, CA. Private family interment will be held at Calvary Catholic Cemetery, Santa Rosa, CA.

I was lucky enough to meet Jade in the late 80's when we both briefly worked at the car wash together. She was one of the most beautiful people I have ever met. I remember her bright smile and positive attitude. I still think of her often, and was saddened to hear of her passing. I'm glad she had a family, and I know she must have been a wonderful wife and mother. I feel very fortunate to have had the chance to know her. I will remember Jade forever.

I know this comes very late, but I have been thinking of Jade for some reason tonight. I had not seen Jade in many years. I was an instructor at the Airport Club, and I met Jade there. She sometimes attended my classes, and I remember her as a smiling, friendly, beautiful young woman. We see someone suffering from cancer or any other debilitating illness and feel compassion and sorrow for that person and his/her family. Depression is a cruel, albeit hidden disease. As evidenced with the passing of Robin Williams, it can take anyone, even the person who seemingly has it all. God bless you Jade. My prayers are with your boys and your mom, with hopes that they will someday find peace, knowing that even if you cannot be with them in the physical sense, you will forever remain in their hearts.

I light this candle for Jade a woman whom Ive never met, but you have been on my mind almost every minute of each day since you've been gone.

I think of you and your boys and my heart breaks like you were my own family. I pray for your family's grief to be lifted so they can find peace and be able to accept life without you.

I pray for your soul to rest and be healed to shine again in another life.

Only time can ease the pain of this tragic loss to these boys that deserve their mother to be here. I will always think of them with compassion and love knowing their little hearts are broken forever. Jade may God give you angels wings to fly along side your boys and they feel theyre mama's love forever...

Jade made me laugh every time we were together. We would trade stories about having so many boys, or laugh about something that one of them said or did. I just enjoyed talking to her. She smiled and laughed all the time. It was contagious. She was just easy to talk too. We lost a ray of sunshine...Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.

Jade, you made me laugh!!! I'll always remember the time we worked together at Mike's and how much fun we had. That trip to Texas was the best!

I first met Jade while working at The Airport Club. I feel so blessed to have her as one of three fond friends I met there as co-workers. I cherish the sailing adventure with her and Mary and a few other memories. A beautiful gal inside and out. A loss to those of us on earth; a beautiful angel gained in heaven.
Bob grew up knowing the Dashiell family.
Together, we send our condolences to both families. May the boys find strength in her love and continued guidance.

Jade had an infectious smile and personality, as everyone that knew her would have to say. I have shared the story often of Jade and Larry on the snow slope, as she picked up my gear effortlessly after I plowed down the hill. She referred to me as a "yard sale" while I was laying face down in the snow. Then she gave me that smile, and be bopped on down the hill. I will never forget it. Jade, you will be missed.

Dear Sweet Jade...words cannot express the sadness in my heart. Your infectious laugh and enormous smile made you larger than life. You were 19 years old when we met. Always wiser than your years. You're spirit and love will live on through your beautiful boys.

I have known Jade along time and every time I saw here no matter where, she always had that smile on her face... My heart breaks for Larry and the boys.....

May 25, 2014

Jade, i have already signed your life' rememberance guest book; but i feel the need to add some final words. As i sit and look at your picture with the beautiful words from your family and friends, i cry.
Jade, i have always had a great respect for you with the way you raised your wonderful boys; they are so well-mannered and nice, it was such a joy to wait on them and you at the club. If everyone was like you on earth then it really would be 'heaven on earth'. your time here on earth was cut short and this makes me very sad as your presence on earth definately made 'our world' a better place. Thank you for giving us such wonderful boys with their great values; may they live their life in the manner you raised them, i pray that they always remember you with love, respect and follow through of the values you taught them as they grow up into 'fine men'. Beautiful girl may you rest in peace. Halyn

Kate, there are no words for the sorrow we feel for you and your grandsons. I was so shocked and saddened to hear about Jade. Her smile and larger-than-life personality are what I remember most about her. I'm sorry that she was in so much pain and felt she could not reach out. I pray that you and your family find peace and comfort in knowing that, based on all we read here and in social media, that Jade touched many lives. She will live on in her handsome young boys.

I would like to reach out to Jades mother at this time. I have so many fond memories of sailing with Jade on the SF bay, driving through the redwoods in a rented convertible and breaking down, laughing until we pee'd our trousers from our bad karaoke, ...I will never forget the baby shower Jade through me at her house for my first child, Nicholas. She was so vivacious and giving. I saw Jade only 2 months ago after 17 years in MT. I am broken hearted that Jade couldnt envision a future for herself or know how much she is needed and loved by all she has touched. I remember Jade telling me her mother was her closest friend. These are all my recollections.I will continue to cherish them and many others. I will be at the service next week to celebrate the Jade I knew and loved.
Please stay strong. Her boys need you more than ever before. ?

I'm so sad to hear the news. Jade was such an amazing parent. I always felt out of the parents circle and she was the one parent who always included me and made me feel like I belonged. She was fun, sweet and made me laugh. I'm so sorry she must have been really struggling. Her children are so loved. Evan, all your friends love you and will be there to help you. I'm so sorry.

You will be very, very missed.

Jade, may you rest in peace with god's love surrounding you. You will truly be missed here on earth; you have so many people that love you; you are such a beautiful girl inside and out; you always lit up a room with your beautiful smile and happy attitude; you were nice to everyone even those you didn't know and just being around you watching you be active with your children was truly a joy; i only knew you through work (srgcc), you did so much to help with many events which was appreciated by everyone; your creativity and organizing abilities were incredible. God bless you Jade and god bless your family with his love and peace to carry on without you; and his same love and peace to all of your friends and acquaintances who will remember you as the beautiful person you are; with love and prayers for you.
