Jayden Neal McLain was born Oct. 25, 2000 to Monty and Sandy McLain. He was an honor graduate from Perryton High School and later attended Angelo State University to pursue a nursing degree. He had an immense passion for Christ and a genuine hunger for His truth.
Jayden has touched many lives in such short time on this earth. He had a keen sense of discernment and a special gift for comforting people. He was an exceptional listener to those placed in his path. It was remarkable to see him blossom into the young Christian man he had become.
Jayden showed a love for reading at a young age and had a passion for music, outdoors and photography (where he medaled at state). Jayden had a competitive spirit, whether it was board games with his family, tennis, or any other contest. Jayden’s family loved spending time with him. He made his mom and dad proud.
He will leave a void in this world and in our hearts, but we have comfort knowing he is with his Lord and Savior. Each day we are one day closer to seeing him again.
Jayden is survived by his parents, Monty and Sandi McLain of the home; sister, Jolie McLain; brother, Jace McLain and wife, Maddison; nephew and niece Ryken and Zellie; brother, Jordon McLain and Raygan Oldfield; great-grandmother, Lois Macha; grandparents, Don and Judy Macha; and many aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Jayden was preceded in death by grandparents, Neal and Norma Elwood and Earl McLain; uncle, Michael McLain; and aunt, Jody Black.
In lieu of gifts and memorials, please pay it forward with an act of kindness, as Jayden would, for someone bearing a heavy burden.
“I am leaving you with a gift – peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.” -John 14:27
