Kase Michael Kirkland of Early, Texas went to be with his Lord and Savior on the afternoon of Sunday, July 16, 2023, at the age of 14 while doing what he did best- living his life to the fullest.
Kase was born on March 17, 2009, to Jennifer Kirkland of Early, Texas and Brent Kirkland of Eastland, Texas. From the second he was born; we knew he would be legendary. It was apparent God had poured an abundance of confidence, love, leadership and integrity into him. He brought energy into every room he entered. If you didn’t know who he was when he came in, you certainly did when he left. Kase lived life to the extreme and his love for the outdoors was unmatched. He would spend countless hours in the deer stand or travel the world with his Paw Paw to hunt whatever they could find. He could make a quick transition to the arena and be horseback until forced to come inside. Sasho, his loyal companion, was never far behind.
Kase was a natural athlete and loved all sports, but football was his heart and soul. He always knew his Mammy would be there to video every single play. She was his biggest fan. He had BIG plans and was looking forward to his first season as an Early Longhorn. He was our prodigy. He enjoyed having his dad come watch him play.
