Paden was born March 18, 2003 in Arlington and died suddenly Nov. 10, 2020. He was 17 years young. Paden, in his short life, affected many people. He also had a great impact on people after his death serving as an organ donor. He will undoubtedly live on in the hearts of all who knew him. There are also now three people whose lives were saved because of Paden’s organ donations. Others have now greatly improved their quality of life because of his selfless decision.
