A family is facing the unimaginable—the loss of their son, Caden.

It’s been a heartbreaking & unbelievably long process to bring him back. Losing him was already more than they could bear, but having him pass away in another state added layers of pain. Once he's home, they can begin to prepare for his funeral.

Chris & Kelli are overwhelmed with grief, and the last thing they should have to worry about right now is bringing him back to the people who love him. So many of you have asked how to help. This is a way to surround them with love and support during this heartbreaking time. And if you cannot give, sharing this page is just as meaningful.

They are trying to survive the worst moment of their lives. If we can even lift one burden off their shoulders, it gives them the space to focus on what truly matters right now: holding each other close, grieving without added weight, and honoring Caden's life with the love he deserves.

Caden's personality was bigger than the world around him - the kind of energy that filled every room he walked into. So big, so bright, so full of life that you couldn’t help but smile when he was near. From coast to coast & around the world he was loved. And he loved his people.

Please keep his family in your thoughts & prayers. The hardest & darkest days are still ahead of them, filled with pain no parent should ever have to walk through. The family will share arrangements once made.
