Jayden, my brother, it was truly an honor to get to know you and have you in my life. Although you looked at me as an older brother, I always looked up to you because of your strength and willingness to choose happiness despite everything you’ve gone through. I’ll never forget how protective you were when your sister introduced me to your beautiful family. Im thankful for all the days we spent together and will always remember you for your genuine self. I never thought such a young kid could be so resilient and mature. You’ve taught me that there is no situation in life that we can’t handle. Because of you I look at life with a positive perspective.
Your smile always filled up the room and there was always an aura of tranquility around you that I’ll never forget. I pray that God wraps his arms around your family at this moment because we got to experience having such an amazing boy in our lives, and we all know how painful it is to say goodbye. But this isn’t a goodbye, it’s a see you later. I’m glad you’re not suffering anymore and im sure you’re having a blast up there knowing you. Te amo hermano. Your nephew will always hear about you and know how much you loved him. You were the first person he said I love you to, something that made you so proud.

I remember Jayden being interested in robotics at UHSSE. I'm very sorry for your loss of Jayden who I'm sure would have made a fine engineer. I am hoping his loss will inspire his peers and his siblings to become an engineer, a doctor perhaps or a scientist to help us build a better world together. We extend our love and condolences to his family. Jay Kean, Mentor & UHSSE Robotics Team 1991 The Dragons.

Me and Jayden were once bored at a restaurant so we made a potion which contained watered down coke, a1 sauce, salt, pepper, parmesan cheese, ice, water, hot scauce, butter, and chili flakes. It was filled to the top of the cup. But when the waiter picked it up and gave a gross look we immediately felt bad. But then we just laughed it off♥️

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, you are only human, they are bound
to bring you tears. But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is over.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.... you’re coming here to me.
Love Shannon & Jon

J and I were on the California trip as you know. We made so many great memories, some of which i’ll never forget. One thing that will always make me laugh is his across the nation ketchup packets. We had arrived to our first layover in Texas, and stopped at a burger place to get food before our flight to Cali. As most fast food restaurants do, they gave us a pound and a half of ketchup packets at the bottom of our food bag. Normally I would just toss them, but Jayden decided to stuff them all in his pockets. We all laughed and came up with a bright idea for Jayden to collect ketchup packets from everywhere we go. On our first official day in Cali, Jayden got ketchup from the breakfast buffet at the hotel, as he did every day after that. (he had quite the ketchup stash in his hotel room) Later that day he did the same at Dave&Busters. While at Dave&Busters some of the girls, Liz, Jayden and I thought of an amazing bet. For this trip we were given $20 each for souvenirs. We told Liz that if we saw a random person in a ketchup costume somewhere in Cali, that she would have to give J,Jas and I, each $10 extra for souvenirs. Liz confidently accepted the bet, because what are the odds of that happening? Low and behold, we’re at DisneyLand, (where Jayden of course collected more ketchup) and we see a man in a ketchup costume as we are leaving, the crazy part is he wasn’t even a worker or anything. I scream to Jayden and Jas and we bust out in uncontrollable laughter. I quickly take a photo and send it to Liz who unfortunately had to stay behind because she got covid. She was jaw-drop shocked. From now on everywhere I go, anytime I see ketchup, I’ll laugh a little and remember J and the times we had. I miss you J, and your family is in my prayers.
Praying for you with much love,
Hannah and Family

Jayden aka smelly boi, you are so missed. They say cousins are like other siblings and to me I saw you like a little brother. So many memories together either playing video games, talking, hanging out and or me taking to school. I missed your good morning snapchat today but I know sometime down the road we will meet at the gates of heaven. I love you buddy.
