Anthony Aden Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Klecatsky & Sons Funeral Homes-West Chapel - West Saint Paul on Feb. 12, 2026.
Age 19, of West St. Paul.

Passed away peacefully on February 10, 2026.

Anthony was loved more deeply than words can ever express and will be missed more than can ever be measured. He left this world far too soon at just 19 years old, leaving behind a quiet that will forever be felt by those who loved him.

Anthony was truly a kid at heart - goofy, free-spirited, and filled with a light that made life brighter for everyone around him. His laughter was contagious, his smile unforgettable, and his presence a source of comfort and joy. He had a beautiful way of bringing happiness into ordinary moments simply by being himself.

He was fiercely loyal and loved with his whole heart. His family meant everything to him, and his friends were an extension of that love. Anthony found joy in the things that made him happiest - football, fishing, and time spent with the people who meant the most to him.

Though his time here was far too brief, the love Anthony gave and the memories he created will live on in the hearts of all who were lucky enough to know him.

Preceded in death by grandfather, Jeff Brown; great-grandparents, Joseph Gramling, Laura & Gene Woehrle, Arthur Dickson, Chaz Brown, and Jean & Harold Aden.

Survived by parents, Joseph Aden and Aimee (John) Aden; sister, Chloe; step-brothers, Wolfgang and Atticus; grandparents, Tom & Kate Goad, Mary & Steve Aden, and Jackie Buttell; great-grandmas, Carol Gramling and Andi Dickson; aunts, Rachael (Jeremy), Theresa (Kameron) and Brianna (Jack); uncle, Al; cousins, James, Zachary, Maeve, and Ozzie; and many other cousins, relatives, friends and teammates.

Visitation 1 hour prior to the Mass at church.

Anthony and I met during our first year of high school, and even though we didn´t stay in touch after that, the impact he had on me has always stayed. Some people are only in your life for a season, but they still leave something permanent behind. He was one of those people for me.

I´ll always remember how he helped me with science homework and never once made me feel small for not understanding something. He was patient, kind, and genuine in a way that felt effortless. That kind of quiet kindness is rare.

His smile could fill a room, not just because it was bright, but because it felt real. He had a warmth about him that made people feel comfortable and included.

Even though our lives went different directions after that year, I´m grateful we crossed paths at all. The world feels a little heavier without people like him in it. I´ll always remember him with gratitude and warmth.

I will miss Anthony so dearly. What a great kid! My most favorite memory of him is that he and Chloe were swimming at grandma Kate´s, and I stopped by for some reason, and Anthony begged me to jump in the pool in my street clothes and play with them - which I did, with my phone still in my pocket. He thought that was hilarious. And, we had a super fun time splashing around. His smile and laughter were always contagious. I loved hearing stories about his football escapades and his friends. What a blessing he was to everyone who knew him. All my love to everyone who is grieving this unimaginable loss.
