Jade was a very hard worker. He took great pride in his work ethic. Jade loved exploring and was able to travel throughout the US, Canada, Europe, and South Korea.

We are devastated by the loss of our amazing son and brother. We are very thankful for the countless people who have shown us much loving kindness.
