Jamel Gaddie, 32, of Visalia passed away on March 15, 2021 and went on to the presence of the Lord. Jamel was born on April 7, 1988 in Visalia. He graduated from Restoration Academy in Visalia, CA. He was currently employed with Charter Communications and was one of the top performers during his time with the company. He was so close to earning his Bachelor's degree in Business from Fresno Pacific University. He had high aspirations for his future and wanted to become a lawyer. He was always pushing himself to be better in all aspects of his life, and encouraging everyone to do the same. He inspired everyone around him but he always remained humble. He valued people and made them feel important. He considered their souls more than anything and was able to connect with everyone he met. More important to him than anything in this world was his family, which he would do anything for. He was the most amazing husband and dedicated father.
