Cade was the beloved son of Spencer and Melissa Baum, a cherished brother to Kahlee Baum, and a loving grandson to James and Marsha Mudd. He shared a deep and devoted love with his wife, Courtney Baum, whose life was forever intertwined with his. Cade was also dearly loved by Courtney’s family, who welcomed him as one of their own. He was a proud uncle to Evy and Laek Perkins and Adaline Curtis and treasured the role he played in their lives.
