Brayden Clay Edwards

Born on August 6, 2020, Brayden came into the world full speed ahead - and he never slowed down. the moment he could walk (and definitely once he could ride), Brayden was chasing adventure with muddy boots, a cheeky grin, and a sparkle in his eye. If it had wheels, Brayden wanted to ride it. Dirt bikes, four-wheelers, monster trucks - you name it, he was revving it. And don't forget trailers! If it could be hauled, he was hitching it up.

He loved anything and everything muddy - especially "muddy tires." His favorite color was green (the muddier the better), and his favorite way to spend the day was tearing up trails, riding fast, laughing loud, and flashing that contagious smile of his.

Brayden was also our little superhero - a huge fan of Spider-Man, and the world's biggest Paw Patrol fan. "Chase is on the case!" he'd yell, ready to save the day or maybe just sneak another snack. He loved fishing with family, playing with friends, and giving out the best hugs and pinky promises (which he was convinced could get him out of anything - and honestly, they usually did). And when he wanted to feel comfortable in new places he became "Tony".

He had the biggest heart. Brayden was kind, thoughtful, hilarious, and so smart. He had a joke for every moment, a silly face for every mood, and a laugh that made even the hardest days better. To know Brayden was to love him deeply - because he made it so easy.

He is forever loved by his mom, Haylee Rebecca Summers; Blake Williams Baird and father, Brendan Christian Edwards; Destiny Nicole Harris, his soon-to-be baby sister, Taitum LeighAnne Edwards, who will always know her big brother was her hero; his grandmas, Danielle Summers Perry, Marlene Beasley and Alisha Lester; grandparents, Brian Michael Edwards and Tammy Musgrave; his Aunts, Angel Kay Bullock, and Courtney Baird; Girlfriend (inside joke), Aunt Ryleigh Smith; Uncles, Colton Elijah Narron, Devon Jacob Narron, Logan Mitchell Narron, Shawn Lucas Perry, Anthony Baird, Justin Baird and a whole crew of family and friends who adored him more than words can say.

Brayden's story is one of laughter, mud, speed, and so much love. Though his time with us was short, he left behind a lifetime of memories, and a legacy of joy that will live on forever - in every muddy puddle, every silly giggle, and every pinky promise.
