Jayden was one of a kind. He made sure to make everyone feel included. He always had a smile on his face. The last few months he took football seriously and was constantly coming into OPS to train. You will be missed greatly Jayden.

Jayden was always goofy and joking around. I loved supporting him at his basketball games. Jayden was a joy to be around and will forever be missed.

Jayden wasn´t only one of my best friends but was a close teammate I played 7s with. Every tournament it was just us cracking jokes listening to music waiting for the next game. Those memories will never be forgotten! Love you 2 #FranchiseForever
