We are gathered here today to mourn the loss of Kaiden Poage, who left this world far too soon on January 16, 2025.

Kaiden was born on January 5, 2012, in Chester, South Carolina. He lived a short but vibrant life, filled with laughter, mischief, and a love for cartoons.

Despite his young age, Kaiden managed to attend Chester Middle School and even braved the halls of Chester High School. His teachers often described him as a ray of sunshine, brightening up their classrooms with his infectious energy.

Although Kaiden had no children of his own, he was known for his playful spirit and ability to connect with anyone he met. He had a knack for making people laugh and could always be counted on for a good joke or a funny story.

While we may grieve the loss of Kaiden, let us also celebrate the joy he brought into our lives. May his memory live on in the hearts of all who knew him.

Farewell, Kaiden. You may be gone, but your spirit will always be with us.
