Jade Willis was just 22 years old when she passed away. she was young, vibrant, and deeply loved by her family and friends. Jade had a genuine heart-she was kind, caring, and full of life. She loved animals, skateboarding, and living freely, always bringing warmth and laughter to those around her.

Jades passing was sudden and unexpected. Our family was left not only grieving an unimaginable loss, but also facing the overwhelming financial burden that often comes with unexpected death. like so many families In crisis, we where unprepared for the cost of cremation and final arrangements. We had to rely on the generosity of others just to be able to lay her to rest.

During this time, we realized how many families experience the same hardship- families already devastated by loss who are then faced with urgent financial decisions, limited time, and few resources. no family should have to navigate grief and financial stress at the same time.

Although there were many unanswered questions surrounding Jade’s passing, what remains undeniable is her impact. Jade mattered. Her life mattered. and her legacy continues.

The Jade Foundation was created in her memory to help families facing unexpected loss by assisting with cremation costs. Through compassion, dignity, and community support, we aim to ease one small part of an incredibly heavy moment.

Jade’s legacy lives on through every family helped, every burden lifted, every act of kindness made in her name.

Through love, remembrance, and compassion, Jade’s light continues to guide us.”
