Anthony Patrick Aden

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.
