This page is for those of us who love and care for the Slade family, and who want to be there to support Dave, Jenny and Javi in their time of grief. As we together mourn the loss of Felix Slade, who passed away on August 14, 2025, we all want to do what we can to help lighten the load of this incredible family. A loss like this is emotionally and physically exhausting and confusing, and it can be hard to ask for help, especially when you are used to being the givers, as they are. Family dinners hold deep meaning for the Slades, and we can help them continue their tradition by providing meals, allowing them to be together without the burden of shopping and prepping. To keep in their natural rhythm as best as possible, they'd love to continue with a family meal on Mondays, Thursdays and Sundays. Please know that the idea of a meal prepared specifically for the Slades is not taken for granted or lost on them, and their gratitude for that thoughtfulness runs very deep. We can also help by making sure their pantry and fridge are stocked with some grocery staples. Please consider signing up for a meal slot using the calendar on this page. If you’re not local or aren't able to prep a meal you can support by providing takeout or donating a gift card for groceries or delivery at the links to the right. Please share the link to this page with others who know and love these amazing humans. This page will continue to be updated as the needs of the family shift, so please continue to check back in. With much gratitude, Friends of the Slade Family
**Please leave food in/on the cooler at the front door by 5:45pm. The Slades adore their friends, but their capacity to engage in conversation varies from day to day and hour to hour. If they’re up for a visit, they’ll leave a note, but otherwise, please just text them to let them know the meal has been delivered. Notes of any kind to accompany the meal to the family are amazing and comforting and highly encouraged. If you’re at the grocery store and able to grab an item or two off the wish list to include with the delivery, that is also incredibly helpful. Food Allergies and Preferences Please avoid: Nuts, Red Meat, Pork, Shellfish, Mushrooms, Egg dishes (egg as an ingredient is fine, but things quiche or boiled egg in salads should be avoided) Below are some things that the Slades often prepare for themselves.
