It is with deep sorrow and profound love that we mourn the passing of Jade Anneli Isabel Burkhart of Olathe, Kansas, who died unexpectedly on August 3rd, 2020, at the age of 17. She will be forever missed, but always remembered by all of us who were fortunate enough to be a part of her life. She is survived by her proud parents, Brandon Sage Burkhart and Piia Anneli Perales, and her brother, Caden Hunter Burkhart.
Jade was a student at Olathe West High School and was preparing to begin her senior year. Jade was so proud to be an "original Owl" and was a member and leader on the Olathe West cheer team during her freshman and sophomore years. She loved music, was very artistic, intelligent, perceptive, charismatic, loving, independent, and exceptionally motivated in the pursuit of all her life goals. Jade had hoped to attend the University of Kansas and pursue a career in medicine. "Rest now, sweet girl."
