I didn't know Jaden, but I was touched by his obituary. He sounds like an amazing person! He is now at peace. My prayer is that God would comfort you during this time. A precious young man gone too soon, but not forgotten. He touched many lives for the better!
I noticed in the video that the last time I did the musical"The Granny Awareds," he was my Prince. I posted a picture. So many great pictures of his life at Meeker and beyond. Prayers for your family.
What a beautiful tribute. What a wonderful life gone too soon. May these memories bring you comfort knowing you gave him a truly amazing childhood.
Jaden was in our Scout Troop 230. He enjoyed Scouting and advanced to the Rank of Eagle Scout. It was my honor to be a part of his Eagle Board where our panel conducted his board. He did an excellent job and easily passed his board to attain the rank of Eagle Scout.
He will surely be missed.

In the short time I knew Jaden he was so sweet and funny, a real class clown through and through. I was sad when he moved away and wish I kept in touch. I hope he’s resting easy, he was a good boy.
Patty, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family as you go through this time of loss and grief.
This breaks my heart to hear. I have wonderful memories of his humor in the classroom always being able to get someone to smile. - Mrs. Fravel (5th grade)
