"Words cannot express the shock and sadness we feel for the Blair family! Kaden was absolutely amazing! He was a friend of my son Brandon, they spent a lot of time together last year hanging out in high school. Whenever Kaden was at our house, he always had a smile on his face, he was always very polite, and was a pure joy to be around! Please know that we are thinking of you guys and sending lots of hugs and prayers your way! God Bless, The Brune Family"
