Caden Joseph Rao

Caden was a proud and dedicated member of both the Pearland Hurricanes and Pearland Patriots football teams.

He cherished his family, friends, teachers, and coaches, all of whom held a special place in his heart. Caden had a passion for football, and he loved spending time outdoors hunting with his dad and fishing. He also enjoyed swimming, working out, playing his VR, and, of course, snacking in between all his favorite activities.

Caden was preceded in passing by his grandmother, Caren Lee Stegall.

Those left to cherish his memory are his parents, Luke Thomas Rao, Jr. and Danielle Elizabeth Rao; his older brother, Colby Thomas Rao; his grandparents, Luke Thomas Rao, Sr., Vita Ann Rao, Bennie Boyd Stegall, and Sheryl Stegall; his uncles, Lee Rao (Monica), Nathan Rao, and Michael Stegall (Priscilla); his aunt Michelle Derrick (Kenny); and his cousins, Danté Rao, Kyndell Rao, Lane Derrick (Morgan) and their child, Sloane, Drew Derrick, Chase Stegall, and Jenna Stegall.

The family would like to give special thanks to everyone for all of the love, support and prayers during this difficult time. They are so grateful for all of the love you have for Caden.
