Jade Mikel Kinzer

Jade Mikel Kinzer was born August 19, 2003 in Tulsa, OK. Raised up in the Tahlequah area, he graduated from Tahlequah High School in 2021. From there, he went on to pursue his dream of becoming a traveling nurse, completing courses at Northeastern State University and Conners State University. His passion and drive to do well paved the way for him to excel in all that he put his hands to, loving his title of “salesman” with Wal-Mart Tech Services and recently signing up for his real estate license. A music lover and talented guitar player, he enjoyed jamming to some of his favorite artist from Brandon Jenkins to Metallica. If he wasn’t out hunting with his Papa, he was cruising the highway on his motorcycle with Dakota and Riley. His down time was spent gaming or doing artwork and basket weaving. He had a variety of collections from display piece Lego sets to Squishmallos and even looked to add some reptiles to his collection, such as lizards and a bearded dragon, just like his sister. He was everyone’s best friend and adored his family above all. On Thursday, July 26, 2025 he passed from this life at his home in Tahlequah, OK. In his 21 years he spread so much love and happiness to all that had the privilege of knowing him.

He has gone on to join his great-grandparents, Sherwood and Ineecie Locust and Marion and Norma Garrett, one aunt, Sandra Weaver and dear friend, Stacy Woolard.

His memory lives on through his mother, Rachel Kinzer and step-father, Reshaun Williams of Tahlequah, OK and father, David Medialdea also of Tahlequah. He leaves two brothers, Cortez Williams and Micah Williams, both of Tahlequah, one step-brother, Michael Williams of Texas, two sisters, Aliya Kinzer and Ayanna Williams of Tahlequah, one step-sister, Maya Williams of Texas along with one bonus sister, Kylie Lucht of Fort Gibson, OK. Also to remember him are his grandparents, Larry and Sherry Garrett and Terri Medicaldea, all of Tahlequah, two uncles, Justin Garrett and Marvin Cochran of Tahlequah, aunts, Tracy Medicaldea, Kamie Beaver also of Tahlequah, Cynthia Smith and husband Michael and Jennifer Wilkerson and husband Bob, both of Tulsa, OK, cousins, Izabella Garrett of Hulbert, OK, Cage Garrett of Tahlequah, Austin Garrett of Tahlequah, Nancy Tiger of Shawnee, OK, Josh Locust of Tulsa, OK, Melissa Weaver of Tulsa, OK and Lindsey Weaver of Tulsa, OK as well as Stephen Kinzer and all of his Cochran family and Ritter family of Ava, Missouri. His greatest friends include Dakota Dallis, Colton Newton, Andrew Roach, Riley Ford, all of Tahlequah, Sam Harrison and Alex White of Fort Gibson, OK, Bobbi Van Winkle-Cook of Hulbert, OK and countless other friends and loved ones too numerous to mention.
