Update from Henriett - March 5, 2026:

Dear friends,

With deep sadness I share that Csaba passed away peacefully on March 4 at 6:05 pm.

I was holding his hand, with the hospice nurse beside us and some of his favorite music playing softly. He was surrounded by love.

Until the very end, Csaba remained himself — gentle, strong, and full of love. He kept telling me “I love you.” He kept kissing me, even curling his lips so I could kiss him again. Earlier he kissed our boys too. He never complained once during his illness.

Even in his final days, his concern was never for himself but for me and for the boys. That is how he lived his whole life — quietly carrying us, protecting us, and loving us with a strength that never asked for anything in return.

That was who Csaba was — always thinking about his family before himself.

Csaba and I were together for 30 years. This January marked three decades of love, partnership, and building a life side by side.

Many of you knew him through the work we built together starting in 2000, walking and caring for dogs. It became our life’s passion and meant so much to both of us.

My heart is broken, but I am grateful that I was able to hold his hand and be there with him in his final moments.

Our family is deeply grateful for the love, prayers, and support you have shown us. Your kindness means more than words can express.

Thank you for standing with us and helping carry our family through this.

With gratitude,

Henriett

Support Csaba’s Family

We are creating this GoFundMe on behalf of the Kadas Family during one of the most difficult and heartbreaking moments of their lives.

Csaba, age 55, is a devoted husband to Henriett and loving father to his two sons (who are in 9th grade and 4th grade). Csaba and Henriett have been a staple in the Brooklyn Heights and Dumbo communities – building their dog walking and training business here since 2000. This business is their life’s work and they love each of our dogs as their own.

On December 9, 2025, Csaba was diagnosed with an incurable and terminal stage 4 pancreatic cancer. Doctors have shared that he is not expected to survive the coming weeks. This reality is devastating, and the family is now focused on spending every possible moment together, surrounded by love.

Why we are asking for help:

No family is ever prepared for something like this and we are all heartbroken for Csaba and Henriett. The suddenness and finality of a terminal diagnosis leaves little time to plan, and the emotional toll can be overwhelming.

Please know that your support will help carry this family through the days, weeks, and months ahead.

With gratitude,

Friends of Csaba and Henriett
