Jade Sharma Death, Obituary : Beloved Catapult instructor Passed Away.
Friends and families are paying tributes on social media to Beloved Jade Sharma who recently passed away.
Jade Sharma died on July 24, 2019. She was 39 years old.
Jade hated euphemisms and anything fake. She would hate if I wrote “passed away” or “left this world.” If it were up to her, she would have written “fucking died.” She said what she thought, 100% of the time.
She loved John Updike, Jernigan, Leonard Cohen, Jay-Z, British television, and her dog Gus. She loved Emily Carter and Lucy Grealy.

I am so, so sad to hear of Jade Sharma’s death. I didn’t know Jade, but I loved her novel PROBLEMS. It was the last book I read in 2017 and I remember thinking there was no better way to close out a year. Sending much love to everyone who knew her. https://t.co/d9eQuC7Gms

I’m so sorry, Jade. We studied together at The New School. @RuthCurry’s description is exactly how I remember you. Unlike anyone else. I’m reading Problems tonight and thinking of you. https://t.co/tQuEQ0MLyR

Heart feels pinched after hearing about Jade Sharma, who wrote the most perceptive, quotable, resonant book that nailed the kind of truths I hadn’t yet heard communicated by anyone. She was so real and so funny. I got to interview her and this answer still makes me laugh. pic.twitter.com/OqTIiPbzKb
