REMEMBERING THE LIFE OF CADE GEBBERS
______
HON. DAN NEWHOUSE
of washington
in the house of representatives
Monday, March 29, 2021
Mr. NEWHOUSE. Madam Speaker, today we commemorate the life of one of my constituents, Cade Gebbers of Brewster.
At just 19 years old, Cade was already an integral part of his community and a remarkably accomplished student athlete with a bright future ahead of him.
From being named the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association Athlete of the Week and the State B Basketball Player of the Year, to making the winning shot at the State tournament with only 1.3 seconds left on the clock, Cade's talent with a basketball was an inspiration to many fellow young athletes in his community.
1 Thessalonians 5:11 tells us to ``encourage one another and build each other up,'' and that's exactly what friends and family will always remember Cade for, on and off the court: a young man with a gentle heart and a warm smile who was a constant source of encouragement for his classmates and teammates.
Even in their time of grief, Cade's family is taking action by supporting Only 7 Seconds, a Washington-based organization dedicated to spreading individual expressions of positive support to combat the feelings of isolation and depression that so many teenagers experience. I commend them for their strength and commitment to this worthy cause.
My thoughts and prayers, as well as those of neighbors across Central Washington, are with Cade's entire family--especially his parents, Johnny and Nikki, and his siblings Kelson, Cort, Karden, and Capri. May the Gebbers family find peace and comfort in their faith, in their family and community, and in Cade's memory.
