Caden Douglas Allen-Hoggard passed away on Tuesday, September 10, 2024, leaving behind a grieving community of friends and family. Caden was only 22 years old, and his passing has left an indelible mark on all who knew him. A Celebration of Life will be held at Arizona Community Church in Tempe, where loved ones will gather to honor him, sharing stories of his kindness, humor, and adventurous spirit.
Caden’s final days were marked by a tragic battle with multiple severe infections. On August 29, Caden sought medical care for dehydration, but his condition quickly worsened. After being rushed to Chandler Regional, he spent 12 days in the ICU battling necrotizing pneumonia and rare fungal infections, which led to multi-organ failure. Despite the relentless efforts of medical professionals and the love and support of his family, Caden’s body could not recover. He passed peacefully, surrounded by loved ones.
Those close to Caden shared memories and heartfelt messages. Sarah Rachel wrote, “My heart is so broken. Caden, you were such an amazing person. Glad I got to work with you in the past. You were a great friend and will miss you forever. Rest easy.” Alyssa Allen, his family member, shared a moving post about the days leading up to his passing, recounting his vibrant spirit, his love for life, and how he would want to be remembered in his final "fancy" outfit at his celebration.
A GoFundMe page has been set up in Caden’s memory to help cover the costs of his service and to support a charity he was passionate about, Be a Mushroom Foundation, which aids youth in need. The fundraiser has raised $550 so far out of its $10,000 goal, with donations from individuals like Bryan Fawcett and Gina Lisy.
Caden’s family has requested that attendees of his Celebration of Life wear something bright and joyful, reflecting his lively personality. In his memory, Caden’s friends and family continue to share stories of laughter, adventure, and the unique light he brought into their lives.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Caden’s family and loved ones during this incredibly difficult time. May his memory live on through the love and stories shared by all who knew him.
