It is with the heaviest of hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved Slade Vincentt Dougherty, who left this world far too soon at the tender age of 3. Slade, our whole world, brought boundless joy, laughter, and immense love to our lives.

From the moment he entered our lives, Slade's light shined brightly. He was a silly, smart, and polite little boy whose infectious laughter and genuine kindness touched everyone he met. Slade had a natural artistic talent, often creating beautiful paintings that captured his vibrant imagination and creativity.

Slade's aura was like that of a butterfly, delicate and enchanting. He saw the world in a way that made everything brighter and more beautiful, finding magic in the everyday and wonder in the ordinary. His presence was a gift that reminded us to appreciate the beauty around us.

In his short time with us, Slade was our earth angel, teaching us the true meaning of love, patience, and the beauty of life's simplest moments. His wisdom and purity transcended his age, leaving an indelible mark on our hearts.

Though his time with us was brief, the impact of Slade's life will endure forever. He is survived by his loving family, Father Josh Dougherty-Mother Dezerae Elsen-Brother Brayden Eske-Brother Ashton Eske-Sister Kinley Dougherty-his 2 birdies Blaze and Darrington, who will forever cherish the memories of their sweet, little artist.

Rest in peace, dear Slade. You will always be our guiding light and our forever angel.
