Jaydon has returned to our Heavenly Father, passing away peacefully in his sleep.
Jaydon was a very busy little boy and had his hands in everything. He was always willing to help, even when we didn’t need it. He would walk in and give you a big hug when you walked in the door or if he saw you crying. He would give you your shoes when you were putting them on along with everything else you didn’t really need at the time. He would help fill in your dirt hole after you cleaned it out. He would say “night!” continually at bedtime until he fell asleep. He would pester and climb all over his brothers and sisters nonstop and enjoy it. He loved going for rides whether it be in the truck, on his horse, in the stroller or his wagon. He especially liked to climb up onto anything that had a steering wheel.
Jaydon started struggling with seizures early in 2019. We took him to a specialist in Salt Lake to see if we could find the cause of his seizures and the tests came back negative. The seizures returned so we went to medication. They would subside and return on occasion. He passed away the night of June 4th. He came into the world earlier than expected and left the same.
Jaydon was loved by many, especially in church as he was smiling and giggling at others in the pews behind him as they tried to make him laugh. He would snake his way up to the stand where his dad was sitting and have a mischievous grin on his face. His sweet smile, bright eyes, and lively energy were hard to resist. He had little fear and would walk up to about anyone or anything without hesitation. At home he loved tromping around in everyone’s shoes and boots. He liked dragging or pushing things, especially something heavy or awkward, all over the house like large stools, vacuums, or brooms. The dishwasher was his trampoline and climbing up on the table, playing with the faucet, and dumping everything onto the floor was a real treat for him. If you open the fridge you better be ready to hand him some cheese. He will be dearly missed by all those who knew him.
He is survived by his Dad and Mom, Landon and Stacie Rigby; his brothers and sisters, (Landon, Jaycie, Alexis, Shylie, and Triston; his grandpa and Grandmas, Kent and Mary Shorts, Boyd and Dellene Dahle; his many aunts and uncles and cousins.
He is preceded in death by his Grandpa, Keene Rigby; uncles, Darin Shorts and Lain Rigby.
