Jaylen, age 28, went to his Heavenly home on Saturday, October 12, 2024. He was a resident of Loranger, LA. Jaylen was baptized by Pastor CJ LaBorde. Jaylen was an amazing father who loved his children deeply. His contagious smile lit up every room, and his laughter could lift anyone's spirits. He had a passion for sports and was a dedicated fan of the New Orleans Saints and LSU Tigers. Jaylen found joy in the thrill of riding motorcycles, four-wheelers, and mustangs. He was always seeking adventure with his loved ones. Jaylen will be remembered for his kind heart, love of life, and the countless memories he created with family and friends.
In the game of life, this wasn't your final quarter, but rather a time-out before your eternal victory. Though our hearts are heavy, we take comfort in knowing your spirit continues to shine and play on in Heaven.
He is survived by his children, Jaxson Michael James, Jayce Mark James, and Ella Kate Menard; parents, Heidi Rester and Stacey James; sister, Madison James; grandparents, Nick and Judy Rester, Bobby and Anna James; fiancé, Tyler Morrison; mother of his boys, Haylee Hayden; father-in-law, Macey Morrison; mother-in-law, Tonya Morrison; sister-in-law, Taylor Morrison; a very special niece, Elliana Reese Warford; special cousins, Daryus James, Deonte James, Bryce Vick; and a multitude of extended family and friends.
Jaylen was preceded in death by his cousin, Quanacia James.
Pallbearers will be Bryce Hayden, Tristan Herring, Cody Addison, Daryus James, Deonte James, Bryce Vick, Deandre Bickham, Jerome Turner, and Josh McClain.
