Sergeant Cade J. Brackeen proudly served in the U.S. Army with D Company, 141st Infantry Regiment, 36th Infantry Division. He completed two tours in Iraq and one in Korea, earning the Army Commendation Medal and Army Achievement Medal for his dedication and service to his country.

Cade was a kind and gentle giant to all who knew him. He was the first to step up and help, a devoted dad, brother, uncle, and son. His humor and warmth touched everyone he met, leaving joy in every room he entered.

Cade lived his life by giving of himself. His greatest wish was to help all he came in contact with, and his selflessness, love, and generosity will remain his enduring legacy.
