Jayden Spicer Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Jayden was a bright and energetic student at Highland Turner Elementary School in Breathitt County, preparing to enter the fourth grade. He loved life with a joyful spirit that touched everyone around him. Jayden enjoyed playing Fortnite and Roblox, was a big fan of Spider-Man, and spent countless hours playing outside-throwing rocks, riding the four-wheeler, jumping on the trampoline, and playing soccer, basketball, and baseball.
He is survived by his aunts, Samantha Brunty and Chy Salyers; uncles, Michael Hays and Chris Spicer; sisters, Mia Spicer and Aliyha Spicer; brothers, Hunter Gross, River Gross, and Fisher Gross; and a "like-a-grandmother," Linda Salyers. He also leaves behind a host of cousins and many dear friends who will miss him deeply.
Jayden was preceded in death by his grandmother, Shirley Faye Johnson, who lovingly raised him until her passing in May of this year.
Visitation for Jayden will be held Thursday, August 21, 2025 beginning at 10:00AM at the Breathitt Funeral Home and his Funeral will begin at 2:00 PM with Edward Johnson officiating. Following his funeral he will be laid to rest at his Grandmothers feet in the Molands Cemetery at Canoe, Ky, Friends and Family will serve as pallbearers.
Jayden's playful laughter, kind heart, and adventurous nature will remain in the hearts of all who knew him. Though his time here was far too short, the love he shared will last forever.

J A Y D E N ,
I hope you run WILD, and care free in that big, beautiful place.
Don't be afraid.
It's not dark there.
It's only sunshine, and happiness.
No bedtime routines.
And, your greatest Superhero is there to take your hand.
Go ahead!
You can do it.
Your so brave, braver than a grown man.
Jump every cloud, and slide on every rainbow.
Skip to your left.
Hop to your right.
Play catch with the stars, and tag with the angels.
It's like your favorite game, your favorite toy.
It's like your favorite ice-cream with neverending hugs, topped with neverending love.
So go ahead, don't be afraid.
It's your safe place.
You are home.
...until we meet sweet boy.
Watch over the ones who are weak.
And let them feel your courage.
Wrap your love around the doubters, so they can see the light.
