Kaden Jacob Baxter

“The ones that love us never really leave us; you can always find them….” Sirius Black

Kaden Jacob Baxter, beloved son, brother and friend, was taken from this world far too soon, in a tragic car accident on September 24th, at the age of 20.

Born on December 22, 1999 in American Fork, Utah to Jared Baxter and Donielle Baxter, Kaden was the second of four brothers. Sharing a love of sports, dogs, movies, and the outdoors, Kade and his brothers had a special bond. He loved his family fierce; they were his tribe.

Growing up in Heber City, Utah, Kade graduated from Wasatch High School. He excelled in both academics and athletics. “Big Bax” spent his high school days on the baseball diamond and the football field. Captain of both teams, he was a tough competitor, receiving many accolades.

Kade was larger than life. His passion for everything allowed him to truly live his life to the fullest. He could always be found in a crowd, where his contagious laugh had the ability to lighten up the seriousness of this world. Kade had the biggest heart, wearing his emotions on his sleeve. He accepted everyone, and all were drawn to him and his zest for life. His endearing smile will never be forgotten. His laughter will continue to echo throughout this life until we are together again.

Kaden is survived by his parents, his brothers Tag (Emma), Garrett and Crew; his grandparents, Donna (Richard) Axmann, John and Dixie Baxter; preceded in death by his grandfather Donald Marten, cousin Chase Marten, and childhood dog Harley. He also left behind many aunts, uncles, cousins, and his dog Finn.
