Aidan Lee Caraway, 17, made his unexpected departure on January 4, 2025, as the result of a freak and tragic automobile accident.
Aidan was born on February 13, 2007, and lived his short, vibrant life in Fort Worth, Texas. He graduated high school in December 2024, and was set to report to Marines basic training in July 2025, after walking the stage with his class. He was a character from the start, always spreading his infectious energy, smile, and laughter. He loved to get his hands and feet dirty, and there wasn’t an animal on Earth he couldn’t bond with. We take comfort in witnessing the happiness and confidence he worked so hard to build and the motivation he had for the life he was planning. We hate to see him go, but happy knowing that he could “die with a smile.”
Aidan joins his older brother, Austin Wallace Caraway, and his favorite pup, Cleo, in the after. He is survived by his father, Charles Austin Caraway; mother, Mary Lee Fuller; siblings, Riley Danielle Caraway, Reagan Anne Caraway, and Riley Jacob Fuller; a loving extended family and too many friends to count, who were all touched by Aidan in unique, genuine ways that nobody will ever forget. We love and miss you, Bubba.
