It is with broken hearts and immense sorrow that the family of Kade Will Feldewerd, age 24, of New Munich, Minnesota, shares the tragic news of his passing on Sunday, October 19, 2025, following a devastating car accident. Kade’s life, though far too short, was filled with courage, laughter, deep love, and unforgettable memories that touched everyone who knew him.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 11 a.m. on Monday, October 27, 2025, at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in New Munich, with Rev. Kevin Soenneker officiating. Interment will follow in the parish cemetery. Family and friends are encouraged to attend as they are — boots, hats, and dancing stories welcome, a true reflection of Kade’s free-spirited soul and zest for life.
Visitation will take place from 4 to 8 p.m. on Sunday, and again from 9 to 10 a.m. on Monday at Patton-Schad Funeral Home in Melrose. A family-led rosary will be held at 4 p.m. on Sunday at the funeral home.
Born on April 26, 2001, in St. Cloud, Minnesota, Kade lived life the way he rode — with courage, grit, and heart. Known as the wild card of his family, he embraced every moment with an energy and boldness that defined who he was. His passion for bull riding ran deep in his veins, and he faced each challenge in the arena with the same determination he carried through life. When the dust settled and the music started, you could always find Kade on the dance floor, lighting up the room with his infectious laugh and radiant smile.
Kade’s love for others was as fierce as his spirit. He never missed a chance to tell those closest to him how much they meant to him — his hugs were tight, his laughter loud, and his presence unforgettable. Those who knew Kade will forever remember his humor, warmth, and the way he made every person feel valued and loved.
Of all the roles he cherished, his most treasured was being “Daddy” to his beloved daughter, Josie. She was his everything — his pride, his joy, and his greatest purpose. Together, they shared countless adventures, laughter, and quiet moments under the open sky. He loved teaching her about life, nature, and what it meant to live brave and true. Their bond was unshakable — one built on unconditional love and joy that will live on forever in her heart.
Kade is survived by his precious daughter, Josie Feldewerd; his loving parents, Karrie Feldewerd (Brian Thorson) and Dennis Feldewerd (Barb Nathe); his siblings, Levi Feldewerd, Lexi Feldewerd, his twin Ty Feldewerd, and baby sister Rylee Feldewerd; grandparents, Roger Majeski, and Will and Dorothy Feldewerd; along with many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, and his faithful dog, Shrimp, who rarely left his side.
He will also be deeply missed by his countless friends, rodeo family, and community, all of whom were touched by his wild heart, his kindness, and his unforgettable spirit.
Kade was preceded in death by his best friend, Steve Feldewerd, and his grandmother, Sandra Majeski, who now welcome him home with open arms.
Though his life was tragically cut short, Kade’s spirit continues to ride on in every heart he touched. He lived boldly, loved deeply, and laughed freely — leaving behind a legacy of courage, compassion, and joy that will never fade.
Rest easy, cowboy. May you ride high in heaven’s arena, where the dust never settles and the music never stops.
