Jayden Thomas Joseph Anderson left this earth Friday, April 8, 2022, as a result of injuries sustained in an automobile accident.

He was a son of Heather Laidella and Joseph Anderson; grandson of Carol Anderson and Larry Laidella; nephew of Ashley Anderson and Mary Ellen Zinn; godson of Julie Miller and Robert Kelley. He was a brother of Cierra Kelley, JoJo Anderson, Brenden Anderson and Antonio Rivera. He loved and aspired to be just like them.

Jayden’s passion was his sports and sports family. He excelled in football, basketball, baseball and even a little wrestling. During his time playing, there were coaches that touched his heart and whom he loved more than they even knew. Dave Lloyd, Allen Bebout, Sonny Brown, Randy Mort, Terri Manucci, West Jones and Tammy Pendland – you all made a huge impact on his life and he loved you all dearly.

Jayden had many friends to name a few: Ruben Miller, whom he loved like a brother; Brody Chase; Preston Bebout; his “Twin”, Daniel Duncan; Enzo Brown; Jason Zellie; Dominic Manucci; Anthony Cox; Noah Ritter; Luke Amon; DeSean Whipkey, and so many more. He leaves behind his best friend since preschool, Homer Headley, who was his very first closest and dearest friend. No time, space or even death can change the love he had for him. Cyncere Cruse, his right hand man – you didn’t see one without the other, a bond that will live forever.

He also leaves behind his dog, Liliah Wolf.

Jayden had a heart of gold and could light up the room with his beautiful smile. He will be missed beyond any earthly words.

He now is in heaven with his special angel, Jordan Mapstone; his grandmother, Rose Laidella; his grandfather, Joe Anderson; and many other family members that welcomed him with open arms.

If you remember anything about Jayden, remember that he loved hard, stuck up for the underdog, and would give the shirt off his back if you needed it. Keep his memory alive by doing the same. #21 will live on forever.

Friends will be received from noon to 6 p.m., the hour of services, Thursday, April 14, in the John B. Greenlee Funeral Home, Ltd., 2830 Main Street, Beallsville, PA 15313, with Pastor Layman Davis officiating. Interment will be private.
