Cadence Jean Eastin

PAUL – Cadence Jean Eastin, 8, of Paul, Idaho, peacefully entered Heaven on September 9, 2023, after being struck by a falling tree in her sleep while camping near Pine, Idaho. From the happy day her mother miraculously delivered surprise twins, to the mournful day of her sudden departure from this life, Cadence glowed with a joy and pleasantness which reverberated in the lives of all her large family. She reveled in joyful child play with her siblings but also displayed a unique kinship for adults which often found her talking, cuddling, and connecting with adults she did not always even know well. Finding a special delight in babies from her toddler years, Cadence packed, played with and cooed over any baby within her reach. She had another great fondness for animals and especially the loyal family dog, Sybil, whose death resulted from the fall of the same tree which took Cadence. Faithful to her last moment, Sybil guarded the door of the family tent, and it is a comfort to the family to know that she is with Cadence still.

Cadence is survived by her father, Quinn Michael Eastin; mother, Natasha Pearce Eastin; brothers, Quinn Mckay, Banner Pratt, Shannon Ladd; and sisters, Genesis Cate, Avonlea Joy, Lemlea Rain; identical twin sister, London Natasha; grandparents, Eric and Robyn Eastin and Shannon and Katie Pearce; as well as numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. Clinging to warm memories and the sure hope of a happy resurrection and reunion, Cadence’s family and friends join to mourn her loss.

A funeral service will be held in her honor at 2 p.m. Saturday, September 16, at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints – Rupert West Stake Center, located at 26 S. 100 W. Rupert, Idaho. A viewing will be held at the church from 1 to 1:45 preceding the funeral service.

Family and friends will also be received from 5 until 7 p.m. Friday, September 15, at Rasmussen-Wilson Funeral Home, 1350 E. 16th St., in Burley.
