Remembering Kaiden: Any help is appreciated for his funeral

No parent should ever have to bury their child, and most parents don't ever plan for this type of situation. I am writing this on behalf of my sister-in-law and her fiancé who lost their son too soon.

Kaiden was the child everyone was excited to see. He was an only child to his mom, Jaunette, and his stepdad, Austin. Kaiden was the heart of our big family and the loss of him is beyond tremendous. He was such a blessing to our family for the 13 short years we had him. He lit up a room with his kindness, his smile, and his presence. He was filled with so much light and life. Kaiden was loved by his parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. He was the child that would always help out, and was always a kind friend. Kaiden was a talented athlete in baseball, basketball, and volleyball. His favorite thing to do was help out his mom and take long hikes with his mom, and his fur brothers, Rugar and Marlin.

The money that is raised will help pay for Kaiden's services, and help with any lost wages for his mom while she grieves her on son.
