Cade John Poulos, 13, of Still-
water, passed from this life on
September 26, 2012. Funeral
services have
been entrusted
to Palmer Marler
Funeral Home
and was held

Tuesday, Octo-
ber 2, 2012 at

Cade was
born on February 22, 1999
to Jay and Shae (Hilgesen)
Poulos in Stillwater, OK. He
grew up and attended schools
in Stillwater and played the
violin in the Slillwater Middle
School and Stillwater Junior
High School Orchestra. He
attended the Eagle Heights
Baptist Church Awanas for
many years and rededicated his
life to the Lord at L'ffechurch.tv
the week before his passing.
Cade was a loving, funny
and articulate kid who was
well known for his Bill Cosby
impersonation, his huge heart,
and his curly red afro. Cade
was very proud of his red
hair and was affectionately
referred to as "Carrot Top"
by his friends. He thought the
best part of having his hair was
when the girls in his class would
ask to touch it and Cade would
smile, lean over, and say "sure!"
Cade was always a gentleman.
He was always asking to carry
his friend's books or backpacks
for them and he never missed
the oppommity to hold a door
open for a girl. Cade was also
very protective of his sister,
his cousins Megan, Matthew
and Maddie and his friends
and was always looking out
for the best interest of others.
Cade was a deep thinker who
was intelligent beyond his years.
He enjoyed tending books, tiding
go-carts, collecting comic books,
and he could out eat the majority
of his family, especially when it
came to his favorite food, toma-
toes. He was an avid movie
watcher who
loved playing
with his dogs,
Jackie and Izuna.
He was never
happier than
when he was sur-
rounded by his
parents, brother
and S'lster, and his
cous'ms. His closest male role
models, his father and brother
Nathan were near and dear to
his heart. Cade Poulos was a
loving son, a caring brother, a
dedicated student, and aloyal and
gentle fi'iencL He packed more
enjoyment and memories into
13 years of life than most people
would experience in 100 years.
Cade was preceded in death
by his great grandparents:
James Hilgesen, Corinne
Ziegler Hilgesen, Ruby Fen-
nell Manuel, John Manuel, and
Great Aunt Audrey Kalous
He is survived by his parents:
Jay and Shae Poulos of Sfillwa-
