In Loving Memory of Kimberly Danielle Gade

The world got a little quieter — and Heaven a whole lot brighter — when Kimberly Danielle Gade, age 46, of Ada, Minnesota, passed away on November 10, 2025.

Born on May 12, 1979, and baptized on May 27, Kim was a member of St. John's Lutheran Church, where her love for Jesus and others was evident in everything she did. She was the kind of person who could make anyone feel loved and welcomed — usually with a smile, a giggle, and a "Silly goose!" for those she was closest too.

She filled her days with the things she loved most: coloring, riding her bike, watching Walker, Texas Ranger, Full House, singing along to Dirty Dancing, and enjoying Disney movies. She was happiest when she was swinging, spending time with her family, swimming or cuddling with her cat (or any cat, really!!!). Kim had a sweet tooth for ice cream (especially concrete mixers) and Reese's Pieces. She never turned down a good game of Uno — which she often won with pride and laughter.

She worked at Inspire, where her enthusiasm and joy for life brightened every day.

Kim is deeply loved by her parents, Keith and Diane Gade; her brother, Josh (Kristy) Gade and their children Andrew, Christian, and Allison; her sister, Tami (Mark) Wirtz and their children Caleb and Aaron; and her grandmother, Lillian Bennefeld. She's also surrounded in love by countless aunts, uncles, cousins and special friends who will forever carry her laughter in their hearts.

Kim's favorite words — "I love you" — were more than just something she said. They were the way she lived. She will be remembered for her kindness, her humor, her faith and her ability to bring joy to everyone she loved.
