Kaden was a beautiful person inside and out. He will be missed tremendously by all who knew him. Even though he left us so young, he did so much in his life. With his generous, giving heart he created and ran Kaden's Blessing Bags for the Homeless, achieving many recognitions including a proclamation from the mayor. He passed out over 2000 personal care bags to the homeless. He was a member of Trinity Brethren Church in North Canton. Kaden was a cub scout in pack 127 and in boy scouts for a short time in troop 127. Kaden loved sports and played football for Plain Local Youth Football for 4 years, and at Oakwood Middle School. He ws planning to play football for GlenOak next season. Kaden also wrestled for GlenOak Youth Wrestling from 1st grade to 6th grade. Kaden was a new student to the homeschool program OHVA/K-12 and was a sophomore at GlenOak High School.
Kaden will be remembered for his bright blue eyes and amazing smile. His little giggle and laugh were contagious and will forever be remembered for them. His hugs were welcoming, soft, and warm and will always be in the hearts of those who received one. He was both a big and little brother, and his spot will never be filled. Kaden's witty jokes and playfulness lives in our hearts. He enjoyed hunting and fishing, the ocean and beach, and his favorite hobby was playing video games with his friends and family. He was learning to ride his brothers motorcycle and drive a car; and was looking forward to getting his driver's license and his own car. He was also planning on joining the military when he graduated high school. He had so many friends and family that loved him, and whom Kaden loved back. He was always there for those that needed him to listen or hangout with. Kaden will always be with those who knew him.
Visitation will be held on Monday, November 14, 2022 from 10am to 12pm at Trinity Brethren Church, 455 55th St NW, North Canton, OH 44720. Service will follow at 12pm.
