Michael Cadue Obituary

Michael Alan Cadue, our son, brother, and uncle, passed away on November 19, 2023, in Lawrence, Kansas, at the age of 45. Born in Holton, Kansas, Michael resided in Lawrence where he brought happiness and comfort to our family and neighbors.

Following the passing of our mother, Karen Cadue, Michael provided steadfast support to our father, Steve Cadue. Michael is survived by his father, Steve, and sisters, Michelle Cadue, Cheryl Cadue Middleton, and Carole Cadue-Blackwood (Dennis), his nieces and nephews Kara Wahnee Deiter (Chris), Owen, Jojo and Georgia Blackwood and Everett and Karen Middleton, his great-nephews Louis and Bronson Deiter and his great-niece Gabrielle Deiter.

A "Jeopardy" whiz, Michael found solace in riding his mountain bike and hiking. He also enjoyed coaching and watching sports including passionately following the New York Yankees and KU Jayhawks. To his nieces and nephews, he was a father figure who taught them essential life skills including how to ride a bike and coached them in baseball, basketball, football, and soccer. Michael's presence at every family event, game, and scholastic achievement will be missed.

A Drum service will be held at 5 p.m. on November 24, 2023 at the Kickapoo Community Building and burial will be Saturday morning at the Mijissepe Cemetery on the Kickapoo Reservation. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to the Karen Cadue Scholarship Fund, Haskell Foundation, 155 Indian Ave., #5109, Lawrence, KS 66046 or via PayPal: haskellfoundation.org/donate.
