Announcement prior to the first pitch
Welcome to the Kade Reiman Memorial Baseball Triangular. A portion of today’s proceeds will go to the Kade Reiman Memorial Foundation to help purchase teaching supplies for first year elementary teachers at Auburn, Elmwood-Murdock, Bennett and Weeping Water.
This triangular combine two of the things Kade loved the most – Baseball, and Community. The community of Auburn, where he grew up and learned to play the game he loved so much. Elmwood-Murdock, where he student taught and was a substitute teacher. And Palmyra, where he was an elementary teacher and coach.
Whatever Kade did, he jumped right in and gave you all that he had. Whether it was teaching or coaching, he poured his heart and soul into the kids. Kade was able to look beyond someone’s outward appearance or struggles and love them with a great sense of patience and a kind heart. His passion to see potential and greatness in others, went beyond football or baseball. His tender heart was the foundation of how he interacted with others and that was balanced out by an intense passion to see you succeed.
Honestly, it was just how Kade lived his life...he lived it with everything he had... when you got Kade you got all of him...heart and soul...all of it!
It didn't matter where he was in, he was All In! Despite his short time here with us, he made a hundred lifetimes worth of impact on the people around him.
May you and I do the same.
May we all jump in with all that we have.
May we love the people around us with all that is in us...even when it's hard.
May we see the best in people and help them to see it too.
So, no matter where we find ourselves may we live our lives "All In" and love with the depth that Kade had for us.
Love Like Kade.
