Kaden Allen Monsen

We are sad to announce the passing of our dear Kaden. Raised as an only child, Kaden was part of a large extended and blended family. Kaden was predeceased by his stepdad Gerald Reger; grandparents Ken and Shirley Monsen, John Conlon; step-grandparents Allen Reger, Dorothy Connell, and Jim Ismond.

Kaden is survived by his mother, Alicia (Monsen) Reger; father, Dennis (stepmom Jennifer) Conlon; siblings, Dylan, Brenna, Owen, and Cara Conlon; Samantha (Faulkner) Thompson and nephew Daxton; niece Adaleigh Conlon; aunt Tara Monsen (Richard Ellis); grandmother Kathy Ismond; step-grandparents Larry & Marion Miller; and numerous cousins, aunts, uncles, and extended family.

Born in Smithers, BC, Kaden loved the cold, snow, and getting into mischief with his cousins Stephen and Codey. Although he never reached his goal of living in Iceland, Kaden was able to enjoy many achievements, one being his graduation from high school in 2014.

Growing up in Prince George, Kaden made lasting friendships and cherished memories that stayed with him until his last days. Kaden had a real love for games, animals, and every kind of food, especially potatoes like his Poppa Ken.

After living in Saskatchewan for a few years, Kaden returned to BC to be with his family. Although his last few years were filled with difficult health challenges, Kaden's beautiful smile always brightened the room. Time spent with family, helping friends with their dogs or moving, being a cool uncle, and playing a mean game of UNO kept him busy.

Kaden had a firm faith instilled in him at a young age, and he knew what his real hope was, no matter what came his way (Rev. 21:3,4).

The family would like to take this opportunity to thank ALL the support team and doctors who have helped over the years; the list is endless, and everyone played a part. A special thank you to the ICU Team and doctors at RIH and the Huntington's Society at UBC. And to all the friends and family, a huge THANK YOU.

In honor of Kaden’s memory, a video tribute has been created, and we warmly invite you to watch it through the link below:
