Cade Sierra Feitler

It is with the heaviest of hearts that we announce the passing of Cade Sierra Feitler, 31, on March 14, 2023 from complications of a traumatic brain injury he suffered in 2005. Cade attended Mariners Elementary School and Ensign Intermediate School in Newport Beach and was known for his high energy, quick wit and antics. He was accomplished snowboarder, surfer and overall athlete. He was a friend to all and has a posse of friends he leaves behind.

Cade’s dream were shattered in 2005 when an inattentive driver ran a red light and broadsided the family car. In that pivotal moment, Cade’s life and the lives of his family and friends changed forever. After numerous surgeries and lengthy hospitalizations at Children’s Hospital Orange County, Casa Colina Rehabilitation Hospital and UCLA, Cade came home to continue his recovery.

Under the direction of his dedicated therapist, Cade exceeded the most optimistic doctor’s predictions. Cade blessed his family and friends with 18 more years and his daily struggles and perseverance inspired all who met him. He gave hope, job and meaning to so many who cheered his accomplishments and witnessed this strong young man who soldiered on through the most difficult challenges.

Cade is survived by his loving parents Joel and Lisa Feitler of Newport Beach; sister McKenzie Chalmers, brother-in-law Christopher Chalmers, nieces Charlotte and Kennedy, his dedicated therapist Bernie and his extended family from Hawaii to New Jersey. Services will be held at Pacific View Memorial in Corona del Mar, on April 16, 2023 at 1:00 p.m.

In true Cade fashion, please wear any attire that makes you HAPPY.
