Jayden Yerges Memorial

Jayd man was born on Tuesday, January 1, 2008. He was the first New Year's baby born at the Pottsville Hospital, which earned him bragging rights in the local newspapers. Jayd started playing baseball and football at a young age. He loved hanging out with his friends and siblings. He enjoyed hunting and fishing and loved the outdoors. He had a love for animals that was beyond comprehension. His yellow lab named Chevy was his best friend. He had the biggest, most perfect smile that warmed your heart, and his belly laughs were the best!

Jayden's family would like to encourage every parent, grandparent, sibling, family member, friend, teacher, neighbor and peer to educate yourselves on depression. Learn the signs, ways to help, and how you can make an impact on our community to make depression a leading topic that needs attention now more than ever! Jayden's family would also like for you to help his memory live on by showing an act of kindness, making someone laugh, donating to a cause, adopting an animal, and just letting someone know they matter. #jaydmanmattered.

Thank you for your contribution to help the family defray funeral and memorial costs, and to provide assistance to the family as they continue to cope with this heartbreaking tragedy.
