Jayden Ledon Meiring's Obituary
Jayden Ledon Meiring, 14, of Decatur, Illinois, passed away June 15, 2024.
Jayden was born in Decatur on May 9, 2010, at Decatur Memorial Hospital. From the moment of his birth, he was brought into the loving care of his grandparents Timothy and Grace Brown. He was an extraordinarily creative child who expressed himself through art, computers, and his ability to take things apart and rebuild them. He was very in tune with the outdoors and loved being in the woods, skateboarding, boating, bicycling, and archery, at which he excelled. He will be remembered by those who loved him as a beautiful young man whose smile would brighten everybody’s day. The world needs to appreciate all beautiful and special children.
Jayden is survived by his grandfather Tim; honorary grandmother Cinda Armstrong-Williams; brother Ryan Meiring; great-grandfather Raymond Brown; uncle Jacob Brown; mother Sarah Brown; special aunt Janice Perkins; and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and extended family members too numerous to name. He was preceded in death by his grandmother Grace Brown.
