He loved Spider-Man and dinosaurs. He enjoyed watching A for Adley, Paw Patrol, and Peppa Pig. Brayden truly was such a light to those he met, or even those that only caught a glimpse of his smile, or heard his laugh, and with that light he would capture your heart with such a warm embrace.

Throughout everything he went through, he never wavered, he never gave into the unimaginable circumstances, he woke up every day with joy in his heart, and a smile on his face, that would bring the most immense joy, comfort and warmth that only he could.
