Obituary
Aayden, age 8, was a beautiful and loving son, brother, and cherished member of his family. Though his life was far too short, the love he gave and the memories he created will remain in the hearts of his family forever.
Aayden was the beloved son of Lacey, his mom, and Justin, his dad, and the treasured brother of Ashlynne.
Above all else, Aayden loved his family. His mom, dad, and sister were his world, and he brought love, laughter, and joy into their lives in ways that can never be replaced.
Aayden had a special love for dinosaurs, which brought wonder and happiness to his life. His imagination was big, and his spirit was gentle and kind.
Though Aayden was only 8 years old, he left an enormous footprint on the hearts of everyone who knew him. His smile, laughter, hugs, and all the little things that made him uniquely Aayden will be treasured forever.
Lacey and Justin will forever carry their son’s love in their hearts. Ashlynne will always carry the memories of her brother and the special bond they shared.
We like to imagine Aayden now in a beautiful place filled with peace, love, and endless adventure.
Aayden, you were loved more than words can ever say. Your life may have been too short, but your love will last forever.
You will always be Mom and Dad’s precious boy, Ashlynne’s beloved brother, and our little dinosaur lover.
We love you. We miss you. We will carry you in our hearts until the day we see you again.
Forever 8. Forever loved. Forever our Aayden.
A viewing will be held on October 9, 2026 from 6-8pm at Larkin Mortuary, Salt Lake City, UT 84111.

Tributes
My nephew Aayden is one of the strongest and bravest kids I know. In his short, almost eight years on this earth, Aaydens smile always light up the room. Despite facing many struggles in his young life, he never let those challenges dim his light.
His fascination with dinosaurs led him to fall in love with the Jurassic Park movies, where he could watch these incredible creatures come to life.
Aayden is a reminder that true strength is not measured by the challenges we face, but by the way we continue to move forward with hope, joy, and determination. I am endlessly grateful for every moment I got to share with him.
Aayden is more than an amazing nephew. He is a blessing, an inspiration, and a bright light in the lives of all who knew and loved him. ❤️
One of my favorite memories with Aayden was a shopping trip to Cabela's. As we walked through the store and looked at all the animals mounted on the walls, he excitedly pointed at one and yelled, "Meow!" He wasn't thinking about the wild animal in front of him. He was thinking about his cat at home. Moments like that remind me just how sweet, innocent, and joyful life can be.
Fly high with all our the angels among us Until we meet again. I love you buddy. Rawr 🦖💚
