On April 4, 2021, this world lost a sweet, kind soul.  Jaiden Michael, the boy who stole my heart, my first love.  With those multiple dimples, that contagious smile, and the most respectable manner, he won the hearts of many.

Born at Hutchinson Hospital on June 11, 1995, he was a lifelong resident of Hutchinson, KS.  Jaiden was a graduate of Hutchinson High School, Class of 2014.  He later graduated from Tulsa Welding School in June of 2019.  Jaiden was employed by Royer Brothers Tree Service.

Jaiden is survived by:  the high energy mini version of himself with that same contagious smile, his son, Corbin James Casanova; mother, Gabriella Gonzales (Brandon Corwin); father, Jason Casanova; grandparents, Gilberto and Rosa Sandoval Gonzales, David and Vanita Castor, Louis and Brenda Casanova; sisters, Melia Jensen and Karrin Casanova; uncles, Paul Gonzales (Crystal), Jamie Casanova  (Juanita), and Jared Casanova; aunts, Allison Reza (Raul), Alyssa Casanova (Jamaal), and Calla Casanova; and with too many great-aunts, great-uncles, and cousins to name.

Memorial service will be 11 a.m. Saturday, April 17, 2021, at Elliott Mortuary Chapel, with Pastor Chris Powell officiating.  Friends may sign the book from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday, April 12, through Friday, April 16, and from 10 a.m. until service time Saturday, April 17, with the family present on Saturday at Elliott Mortuary.
