Justin "Kade" Arthur's Obituary
Justin “Kade” Arthur was born on March 5, 2008, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and left this earthly life on January 18, 2026, at the age of 17. Kade was adopted by the Arthur family on January 29, 2014, a day that forever changed their lives. From that moment on, Kade became an irreplaceable part of the family, filling their home with love, laughter, and light. Kade had a presence that was deeply felt and will always be cherished.
Kade attended Bixby High School, where he was known for his strong work ethic and dedication. He had a deep passion for lacrosse and weightlifting, pursuits that reflected who he was — incredibly strong, disciplined, and hardworking. He showed up fully in everything he did, always giving his best and pushing himself to grow.
Kade is remembered for his kind, protective, and caring nature. He had a very sensitive and tender heart and always wanted to help others in any way he possibly could. He was incredibly funny, deeply compassionate, and had a radiant smile that those around him will never forget. Kade made people feel safe, seen, and loved simply by being himself.
Faith was an important part of Kade’s life journey. His favorite Bible verse, Joshua 1:9, reflected the strength and courage he carried within him: “Be strong and courageous… for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” Kade leaves behind a legacy of love, faith, compassion, and resilience that will continue to live on through the countless lives he touched and the hearts that will always hold him close.
A memorial service honoring Kade’s life will be held on Friday, January 30, 2026, at 2:00 PM, at Redeemer Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
