I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. I'm shocked to have found this when I tried to search his name on Google. Ever since Kaden and I were best friends in middle and high school in Woodland, he's never left my mind or my heart. He was awesome, and I've missed him for years and I still miss him.  I can't imagine what it's like for y'all.

Dear Kaden,

Although I didn’t know you well, you played a major role in my life, being my partner’s firstborn.  Not a day went by that I didn’t hear about you in one way or another, as you were always on your mother’s mind. And the few times we did meet only verified that you were indeed the person I’d come to know through her vivid recollections and stories; a sweet and soft-spoken, gentle soul too good for this world, always trying to reconcile the hand life dealt you. I always wished I could have gotten to know you better. But all we have now are the memories and stories you left behind. If I could tell you anything right now, I would tell you that you were widely loved, and anyone who ever met you is better off. You were so sweet and kind, and the ripples of your loss have spread wider than I think you could have ever imagined. You now reside in the hearts and minds of so many. Rest well, sweet Kaden, wherever you may be, and may the music of your voice forever resound in the ears of those who knew and loved you.

With Love and Affection, Bjorn ~
