On November 2, 2002, in Gadsden, Alabama Mr. Jaden Demiere James was born to Ms. Ceandra James and Mr. Charles Huntley.

At the early age of 10 he received Christ under the leadership of Pastor John H. James at Greater Ebenezer Baptist Church, Ohatchee, Alabama. Only God would know the mission he had planned and the steps he had ordered for Jaden during his twenty-two blessed years of earthly life.
    
Jaden was a selfless young man with a big heart and would give anyone his last. Jaden received his formal education in the Gadsden City School System, where he attended Gadsden City High School, Class of 2021.

In his spare time he loved to spend time with his family and friends, playing his PS5, playing basketball, drawing, fashion, rapping and listening to music. One of his favorite college teams was The University of Alabama, ROLL TIDE!

He was also a faithful employee at Wal-Mart of Gadsden, as a stocker/loader. His future plans were to enroll into the Associate to Driver Program with Wal-Mart, to follow his uncle’s footsteps.
