Jayden James Obituary
She was a second grader and a Girl Scout at Adams Central Elementary. She attended preschool at Bluffton Elementary. She was a member of the Life Church and The Bridge Community Church. Jayden was beautiful inside and out, had a heart of gold and a smile that could light up a room. She did not know a stranger and would hug everyone she met. Her thick and curly hair could usually be seen affixed with a bow placed by her mother. She was truly a blessing to all.
Among survivors are maternal grandparents, Jim and Ginni McDonald of Decatur; paternal grandparents, Delmer and Alice (Pinkerton) James of Keystone; a brother, Dylan K. James of Bluffton; six uncles, Roger (Athena) Roe of Bluffton, Shaun (Karla) Roe of Leo, Shane (Stephanie) Roe of Decatur, Brent (Amy) James of Thorntown, Ryan (Laura) James of Bluffton and Todd (Becky) McDonald of Decatur; three aunts, Deatra (Jason) Webber of Elkhart, Amy Shell of Fort Wayne and Cathy (Wayne) Brooks of Leo; 24 cousins and many friends.
She was preceded in death by her grandfather, Roger L. Roe.
Funeral services will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday at The Bridge Community Church. Pastor Mark Dauterman will officiate and burial will take place in the Backesto (Spring Hill) Cemetery.
Visitation will be from 4-8 p.m. Friday and one hour prior to services, also at the church.

Having met Jayden in preschool I came to love her very much. I loved the way she smiled when we sang. I loved her excitement when we played games and I loved her joyfully nature. She truly blessed everyone she met. My thoughts are with her family.
