Kaden S. Tjossem

Kaden Samuel Tjossem, son of Logan and Jaime (Malcore) Tjossem and brother to Rylee and Carley, passed away at his home in Rochester on December 22, 2012 after a 15-month battle with bone cancer.

Kaden was born on October 19, 2007 at Olmsted Medical Center Hospital. In just five short years Kaden touched the lives of many and his strength, courage, and willingness to fight inspired all.

Kaden attended Civic League Day Nursery (SE Center). Kaden loved boating with his family and swimming, whether it was in Lake Pepin or a swimming pool. Kaden loved riding his John Deere tractor alongside his Dad, riding bike with his sisters, dropping off and picking up his Mom from work, taking his teddy bear puppy Tj for walks, and playing video games with whomever would join him.

Kaden, with his infectious smile, dimpled cheek, and unruly colic will forever be missed and loved by his family and friends. He is survived by grandparents; Sam and Linda Malcore (Brussels, WI) and Judy Tjossem and Ron Ruen (Decorah, IA); aunts and uncles Nikki (Malcore) and John Fitzgibbon (Mequon, WI) and Shaun and Jill Tjossem (Richland Center, WI); and cousins Madison and Lauren Fitzgibbon and Grace, Gavin, and Gabriel Tjossem.

Visitation will be held on Wednesday, December 26 from 5:00-8:00pm at the Resurrection Catholic Church in Rochester and for one hour prior to the service at the church on Thursday. The Funeral Mass will be at 11:00am on Thursday, December 27 at the Resurrection Catholic Church with the Rev. Thomas Loomis officiating.

Memorials can be sent to “Kaden Tjossem Fund” at Home Federal Bank or Wells Fargo Bank, Rochester.

I have been (secretly, not a member) following the posts on IDO about Kaden and while I am very sad to hear that he passed away I am also relieved to know he passed peacefully surrounded by his loving family.  God bless you all and know that you have my deepest sympathy.  He is a beautiful little boy and you will be with him again one day!

So many hugs go out to your family.  Kaden looks like such an adorable little boy and sounds like an amazing kid!  It is a blessing that he is no longer in pain and to know he will be watching over you always!

Many prayers to you as you go through such a difficult process.

Love for Those

			They will remain with you always—
  			These moments,
			Those hours,
			That life;
 
			Though love has taken some part of you
			In the most somber way.
 
			Yet, love has not forever lost its way;
			It will be for those who linger
			As it was for the one
			Who has gone.
 
			And love will be
			For you.

Dear Tjossem Family,

I am very sorry to hear about the loss of your son Kaden Tjossem. It is very hard, even when anticipated.  It is most certainly the hardest when they are taken from us too soon.  Your loss of Kaden at such a youthful age is certainly a very big loss for you and your family. 

I pray and ask for God's blessing for Kaden and your whole family.

God Bless,

We cannot imagine the depth of your sorrow, and we can only imagine how devastating this must be for you and the rest
of your family. Of course your life is forever changed as a result of Kaden's illness and passing because there is nothing, nothing, nothing as painful as losing a child. We are glad to have met Kaden and will forever hold the memory of him dancing until midnight on New Years Eve 2010 at the Patrows...Peace, love and hugs ~ The Wojciks
