I can't believe today would have been your 18th Birthday, Jayden. Losing you has put a large hole in my heart, I don't think I will ever lose. Love you so much and miss you terribly. Hope you're with all of the family, and taking care of your little cousin, Aria. One day we will all be together again, but until then, know we carry your memory in our hearts everyday.

Dear Lord, thank you for Jayden, a precious angel, given to Jenny and Matt for a few short years. Now he is with you, his Father in heaven. God, we know your ways are not our ways so forgive us if we cry aloud for jayden. We are grieving because of the horrific sadness of this early loss. So innocent, so priceless, so full of love and evidence of You, the one true God, Jayden is free from earthly human pain and suffering. May jayden see Your beautiful face, oh Lord. Father, Jesus, and Holy Spirit we pray for Jenny and Matt. We ask that their suffering torment be relieved by their belief in You. Amen.
May Jesus wrap his loving arms around Jenny, Matt and their families giving them peace and comfort at this difficult time. Let them know Jayden is home in heaven with you looking down not wanting them to be sad but to remember happy times and to assure them some day they will see each other again. Jayden thank you for your gift of life too others

My heart is broken over your loss. I've never met you or Jayden but he sounds like such a precious little boy. It sounds like you loved him well too and gave him a wonderful life. May God comfort you in the deepest places of your hearts. I lost a sister suddenly and know a little bit about the terrible grief you're going through.

The world is a little less bright and hearts are a bit more heavy because a young light has gone out but that doesn't mean that he did not bright and strong enough to fill your worlds with happiness! My sincerest condolences on the dimming of one of God's lights!

I'm sorry for your loss, no parent should have to go through this. I did meet Jayden once or twice when he was really young. But he always was smiling.

On behalf of Charli Bloss, also 6 years old and a big fan of Jayden's, our hearts and prayers are with your family at a time most of us cant even comprehend but we extend our sincere condolences and wishes for peace. Charli enjoyed all of her time with Jayden and i can only imagine thats because he was most likely a charmer and they could create havoc together. He was always so kind to Charli and put a big smile on her face. i know Charli will remember him as a fun and special friend.

When Jayden's grandma Betty phoned me Wed. morning with the news I was stunned. I trust that Jayden is with Jesus and that gives me great comfort. I remember about a year ago just before Thanksgiving. I was on the phone with Betty, and Jayden came on the line. He told me how thankful he was to God for all the good things God had blessed him with. I never met him in person, but I will always remember that bright little voice--so alert and happy. My deepest condolences to Betty, Matthew and Jenny, and Aunt Christine especially, but to all the family. I can't imagine how much you are hurting right now.

October 5, 2012

What a tragedy to lose a life barely begun - my heart goes out to the loved ones who are grieving deeply over little Jayden's death. I never met Jayden but I know his Grandma Betty and know she loved him so much. He is with Jesus now and at peace.

I am so deeply saddened by Jayden's passing....so young. He is with Jesus and there he will be for eternity. My heart goes out to all the family, esp my sister-in-Christ Grandma Betty.

We will miss Jayden tremendously. He was so bright and full of life. Always smiling, with so much energy, it was hard to keep up with him. I will miss hearing about the things he learned on the computer each day, especially when he would speak in one of his 13 different languages. Scott and I would look at each other, not knowing if he was right, but it always sounded good. He had a way of entertaining us with his knowledge, smile, and just showing what new thing he could do. He is now brightening up heaven as I'm sure God is taking special care of this wonderful person. May God bless, and be with his family. We will miss Jayden.

October 5, 2012

It is with a very heavy heart, I struggle to find words to say. I remember the times I saw Jayden, his personality lit up the room and brought smiles to everyones faces. I'm SURE he knew, and felt how MUCH his family loved him. Cherish the memories, cherish each other. Our deepest sympathy & prayers, Gina & Phil Dusza

I am so deeply saddened by this tragic loss. Words can never express my sorrow. He is safely in the arms of Jesus and that is where he will be for eternity. He is now where we all yearn to be. Our heavenly home.

Oh sweet Jayden... you've gone too soon. You will be missed here more than words can describe, but know God's plan for you was bigger than what you could have done here on Earth. Teach the other children in Heaven your karate moves, show them all of the places you went on Google maps. :) You are loved from the moon and back and will be missed always.

October 5, 2012

Dear Family,

Though we are "Stoeckel's" yet have never met our hearts grieve with you. Our son, Joey welcomes Jayden into God's heavenly kingdom. The reason for this sad season will be revealed to you. Trust God to heal.

With deep respect and prayers given,
Audrey (Len Rateike, Kurt Stoeckel) & Bob Kowall

My only regret is as your karate teacher I never got the chance to give you more in such a small time. Knowing you as little as i did, I know you will keep your families fire burning bright for the rest of their lives.

Jayden you were such an amazing, smart, and very loving little boy. I will never forget seeing you every morning when I would drop Charli off at school or see you in the afternoons to pick up and having play dates. You will be greatly missed and I love you very much. I'm sure you are smiling down at us now and looking over everyone.
