Kim Michael Lade was born April 29, 1954, in Glencoe, the son of August and Mabel (Ziemann) Lade. He was baptized by the Rev. M.A. Schultz at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Stewart. He received his education in Hutchinson with Mrs. Carl Olsen as his teacher, completing his coursework at age 18. He went on to the Mankato Rehabilitation Center and the Harry Meyering Center where he was employed for over 40 years. He retired last year.
He loved his work and the time he spent with his fellow coworkers and staff. He brought a smile to everyone’s face daily, no matter who he met. There was never a dull moment when he was around, and you never forgot his smile.
Kim enjoyed sports, going to or watching them on TV. One of the things he most wanted to do was go to a NASCAR race, and he did. His sister Darcee and niece Mandee took him to the Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Texas, to watch the NASCAR races in person. He had the time of his life! They visited Branson, the Ozarks and other places on the way to and from the races.
He loved Elvis. He loved Halloween and dressing up in costume. He was involved in theater, bowling, LEEP, painting classes and dance, just to name a few of his activities. He also enjoyed doing word-search puzzles and, later on, painting and coloring beautiful pictures. He loved the times he spent with his sisters, Koni and Darcee, and their families, hanging out, and the many holidays together.
Kim cherished spending time with his family, and he was totally blessed to have such good friends and staff who cared so much for him. He enjoyed his vacations with everyone. He loved life to the very fullest, and made every day a special day for whoever he met, for they never forgot him.
He is survived by his siblings: sisters, Darcee (Chuck) Wittke of Hutchinson, Koni (Paul) Fank of Dassel, Delores Rath of Hutchinson, Marilyn Timm of Fairfax, and Diane Molenaar of Clermont, Fla.; brothers, Grant (Diane) Lade of Springfield, Eugene (Caroline) Lade of Buffalo Lake, Eldor (Carol) Lade of Hutchinson, Dennis (Linda) Lade of Clermont, Fla., Ken (Sherry) Lade of Powder Springs, Ga., Daryl (Judy) Lake of Mankato, and Terry Lade of Hutchinson; sisters-in-law, Lois Klitzke of Hutchinson, Ruth Ann Lade of Hutchinson and Peg Lade of North Mankato; many nieces and nephews; special family in Eagle Lake; roommates, Nancy, Tom and John; the many staff over the years; and many friends.
He was preceded in death by his grandparents; parents, August and Mabel Lade; brothers, Loren, Larry and Arlen; and brothers-in-law, Lloyd Rath and Fred Timm.
Arrangements were with the Hughes-Hantge Funeral Chapel in Stewart. An online guest book is available at www.hantge.com.
