Professional Wrestler. He was known by the ring names "Cowboy" Cade, "Garrison" Cade, and most notably as Lance Cade. After excelling in basketball at Millard North High School, in Omaha, Nebraska, he turned down offers from several collages to pursue his aspirations of becoming a professional wrestler. He was trained at the Shawn Michaels Wrestling Academy in San Antonio, Texas. Cade made his professional debut in Japan in 1999 and in 2001 he signed with what was then the World Wrestling Federation (WWF). He was sent to Memphis Championship Wrestling (MCW), which was a part of the WWF, and later that year he was once again relocated to the Heartland Wrestling Association (HWA), a developmental territory for the WWF. In 2002 Cade left HWA. He was then sent to Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW). In 2003 he was finally brought up to the WWF, using the name "Garrison" Cade. His first match was with Lance Storm. Later he formed a tag team with Mark Jindrak, and began their quest for the tag team titles. In 2004 Jindrak was drafted to Smackdown, so the team was split. Due to a knee injury Cade was off television for quite some time. In August of 2005 he returned with a new look and a new partner, Trevor Murdoch, and together they would hold the tag team titles on 3 occasions. In October 2008, Cade was released from the WWE because he had a seizure on an airplane which required immediate medical care. In December of 2008, he returned to Japan and once again teamed with Murdoch. In 2009 he rejoined the WWE but was once again released when he asked for help with a sleeping pill addiction. He did complete a 30-day rehabilitation program. During his 11-year career Cade held the HWA Tag titles 3 times, the HWA Heavyweight title 2 times, The Texas Wrestling Allience heaveyweight title 1 time and the WWE tag titles 3 times. Cade died of heart failure in his sleep, while visiting his father in San Antonio, Texas. He was 29 years old.

Your memory will forever live in our hearts and your legacy
will live on through our children. My angel, I love you! You are in our
hearts forever. Loving son, grandson, husband, father and friend.
If tears could build a stairway, and memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to Heaven, and bring you home again.
