Kaden was born December 3, 2001 in Portland, Oregon. He overcame many odds to finally come home from Doernbecher Children’s Hospital at ten months of age. Kaden flourished at home with his parents’ help. When Kaden was just about two, his little brother joined the family. The boys encouraged and loved each other on a daily basis.

He especially loved hot wheels trucks, reading, laughing, and smiling. He has been and always will be an inspiration to many people.

Kaden was a sparrow for both Gladiola School and North Middle School.
