My best friends son got tragically shot a couple nights ago and I’m trying to raise funds to help the family out with expenses. Here a little bit about Jayden Ruggles, 22, of Clarksville Tennessee, was born on August 22nd, 2003, in Urbana, Illinois, and passed away on October 1st, 2025.

He was known for his big heart, kind and genuine spirit, and his easygoing, super chill nature. A true animal lover, loyal brother, and loving friend, he touched the lives of everyone who knew him. He had a passion for sports, especially football, and always brought dedication and energy to the field. He also loved fixing things up—whether it was helping out around the house, working with his hands, or finding solutions—he had a natural gift as a handyman and was truly a jack of all trades.
