ayden was my brother and we shared many memories together and cried together and had fights but we still loved each other and i miss him vary much

I remember at lunch one time I had two different types or Oreos. Regular and mint. He came over to my table, and asked for some. So I gave him the whole box and he brought it back to his friends and he was so happy. 

I’ll always remember the night you took my car and drove me to Luke’s going 70 on the highway as I was in the passenger seat bawling my eyes out and having an panic attack over a break up. You talked to me the whole way telling me how he was piece of crap and that I deserved better, how he didn’t like how he treated me. And even though you were already stressed out you still took care of me. I’ll never forget our group hug, you, Luke, and Rocky gave me. You liked car rides, and going to the park. You loved rocky and Oscar. You always liked going to the store with me even when we weren’t even going on for anything special. You liked yelling at people when we drove by them and being goofy in public. I’ll never forget me you chance and Luke in the store and you busted your head open on one of the metal bars and I took you all to my house so we could get you bandaged up and taken care of. It was a stressful day but at the end of the day we all laughed about it. You were a fun person, but you were also a very sweet and kind person. You loved your grandma and great grandma. You loved your parents, you loved your sister and you loved your friends. You loved everyone. I remember always having to stop for you because you’d be having a conversation with a stranger or you’d be complimenting them and saying such positive things to them. I’ll never forget your smile when youd tell me about a girl you were talking to, or your laugh when we’d make fun of the idiots and rude people. I’ll always remember your kind heart and sweet soul. You were my bestfriend and you watched me heal and grow. I wish I could’ve seen you heal and grow alittle more. Thank you for taking care of me and your people. Thank you for always listening to me  and trying to make me laugh when I was sad and being there for me when no one else was. Thank you for always being so kind and sweet to my parents.  And thank you for being my bestfriend. I love you and miss you. Rest well bestie❤️ 

ayden, i’m so sorry we haven’t talked in a while and this is how i get to respond, but i just wanted you to know you had a heart of gold. you always made sure to shoot me a message even with you knowing how anti social i am. i can’t thank you enough for that. life is so cruel and i’m sorry you had to be taken so soon but you’re now at peace with no more pain. you were a sweet young boy who had so much potential. thank you for seeing the good in others that we couldn’t see. your spirit will live on my “little buddy”💛

He was a man that was very straight forward with you and was very nice to you. I remembered freshman year he would tell me twice how annoying I was in class cause I would almost all class time just talking and making jokes with friends. Sophomore year I did remote and then last school year at the beginning  of 1st tri when I was nervous cause haven't seeing most people in a year and he unexpectedly went up to me and said how he missed me and how very chill I became. So a few days into the second tri and me and ayden had c lunch together and I eventually sat by him and he was most of the time straight forward with me about people and drama that would be happening around the school. He was a great guy who was friends with most of the custodians and would say things nice to people that had a bad day and he was a caring down to earth guy that is gone wayyyy to soon. RIP man.

My sister and i grew up with ayden in the indiana gardens. one day when i was about 12 and ayden 8, we were all playing in my front yard under a tree with berries. I plucked a berry from the tree and threw it at him running on front of me hoping to hit him and instead i managed to land it right in his ear... we all sat and laughed for at least 10 minutes and then had to find kristin to get it out. Ayden will definitely be missed by all the kids out there, and we will always be thinking about him.

I hope you’re watching me and guiding my life  through the clouds. Help me heal through this Ayden. You touched my soul very quickly in the short amount of time you had on earth. Some things you know about me no one else does and the other way around. It’s hard for anyone to accept this especially when i was getting so attached to you. Always warming my heart with your cheeses and “right on”s i always felt better around you. Even if you didn’t feel like it you always tried to help the people you care about and you would put others above yourself to keep them smiling even if it was hurting you. I miss hearing your voice and seeing your good morning texts “how was work today??” i feel lonley without you in my life. i’m sorry if it’s selfish of me to want you back on earth you were just such an amazing person.  i’m going to miss you man. You had such a big impact on my life. 

I love you and I will try to live my life like you would have.....seeing the positive, loving people, life, music, animals, etc. It's amazing how many people's lives you touched and will forever be remembered as an amazing young man, respectable and respected, positive and outgoing, always there for you when you needed him, whether you're family, friends, or a stranger. 


Ayden one time caught me crying in the hall while filling up my water bottle. He immediately walked over and gave me some kind words before entering the bathroom. That was the first time I had met him and after that I walked back to class with a small smile. He made everyone’s day better. He was so caring and kind to everyone and he will be missed. Sending prayers to the family. 

During my victory walk this year when I graduated only 2 people noticed me. Ayden was one of them. He was so bright and caring and knew how to make someone feel noticed when they felt invisible. 

Bubby I can't believe you are gone. How am I supposed to go on without you. You brightened up my day Everytime I talked to you, and your heart was so big and cared for everyone! You were such a great son, grandson, friend, but by far you were an amazing brother. You blew me away all the time with your ideas, your show of respect, your imagination, your empathy for others, your comprehension of things not read but felt, your advice, and I really was so super proud that I was your mommy and you were my son. I am going to miss your beyond measure. 

Really enjoyed coaching him in baseball. We enjoyed spending  time with him at family outings. He would always joke around with me when we would see each other. He was a great kid! We will really miss him. Our prayers are with the family and friends. 
Daryl & Susie Wetherald  and family
