Obituary For Kaiden N Kelly

Our adventurous Kaiden Nathaniel Kelly was born to Corenda Kelly and Cleon Austin on January 18, 2020. He brought so much joy to all those he encountered.

Kaiden attended Community of Believers Church. He loved watching his Pop-Pop play the piano and yelling in agreement with Pastor Dotson. Kaiden was smart and caught on super quick. He enjoyed playing any and every sport, especially racing. Kaiden was destined to be an Olympic medalist. He loved family gatherings, guiding shopping carts and CARS!! The one thing he loved the most was his baby brother, Kyland Austin. He protected, took care of, taught and LOVED him. Kyland was his shadow and Kaiden was his Gramma’s shadow.

Kaiden leaves to cherish his loving memory: Corenda Kelly (mother), Cleon Austin (father), Kyland Austin (brother), Brandon & Kashontia “Kaye” Gildon (maternal grandparents), Jessie & Louise ”Red” Austin (paternal grandparents), Brenda Scott-Henry (Gregory) and Louis Roby (maternal great-grandparents), four uncles, Khi’shon Bacote, Alton Wilderness, Jesstin and Jessie (Jr.) Austin; three aunts, Arielle Borders, Tatunia Harris and Jessica Austin; two great-uncles Keanyandaarwa and Kentyata Scott; and a host of other great-aunts, great-uncles, cousins and friends.

Special acknowledgements: Karen Scott (great-great-aunt) whom he fondly called Teyze, Shakeva Harris of Joy for Learning Childcare and Michelle Anderson of Creative Beginnings Childcare.

Kaiden was preceded in death by Burnestine Austin and Lee Carl McKinney, Sr. (paternal great-grandparents) and many maternal and paternal family members who were waiting on him at heaven’s gates.

God let us borrow Kaiden for only a short time. His time here left a huge impact on our lives. Kaiden was full of joy, love, and genuine care and concern. While we’re all sad and crying, he’s asking everyone, “You, ok? You ok!!”

Ready….vroom…set….vroom vroom……GOOOOO!!!!

Be with GOD on the biggest racetrack in heaven.
