Jayden was born in Grand Junction, CO, and from the very beginning, he carrieda beautiful soul and a free spirit. His bright blue eyes could light up any room, and his contagious smile and laughter had a way of filling hearts with pure joy. Jayden was deeply loved by all who knew him, and he loved his family fiercely.
He gave his life to God and lived with a sense of adventure. He loved playing Fortnite - even teaching his mom how to play. He was an avid hunter and loved hunting season with his dad and grandpa Tim. An amazing athlete, Jayden played many sports over the years, but soccer was his greatest passion. From age 4 through high school, he played every year and played for the Grand Junction High School team.
