Our beloved Kaige went on to the next plane on July 27th 2023. Anyone who knew Kaige knew that he was unique, artistic, outgoing and a lover of everything and everyone. He loved being free and being a friend to anyone who needed one. His memory will live on with his family, friends and acquaintances of the times we shared, the artwork he left and his true quirky nature of making us all laugh. We know that a loss like this will affect all who came in contact with him. Please remember Kaige's goofy smile, the way the weirdest things always came out of his mouth and his love of making it awkward, just to watch your reaction.
