Hey Jalen I’m so hurt writing this, I remember when we first met, I was pregnant with Jeremiah, you & your mommy were so kind and loving to us, you guys showed us so much compassion, love and understanding…. We love you and you will truly be missed 💙💔
Heaven has gained a true angel in the form Jaylen, an epitome of kindness who warmed our hearts with his gentleness, selfless love and passionate spirit. His unique humor had a way of making even the dullest moments bright. We carry his prolific laughter, warm hugs and insightful talks deep within our hearts. We’re immensely blessed to have known him; he was undoubtedly one of earth’s genuine treasures. Life cheated us by taking you away too soon, sweet soul. Even from a distance, your love stands solid in business as always! I love you Jaylen ! Until next time .
I’m going to keep it short and sweet . I know you wouldn’t want anybody sad but this one hurt Jay .

It’s was a little hard to find a single favorite moment with Jaylen. I was around the family a lot when I was younger so it’s a lot of memories. Each memory l have with him is full of laughs and jokes he played around a lot and he welcomed me in the family. To Jaylen thank you and Rest in Paradise
Jaylen, if only we knew how much time we really had together. Thank you for giving me my biggest blessing. I will always cherish our memories & tell our story to Justice. I’m so sorry we couldn’t figure it out in time. Glad the last 4 years of your life we were apart of. Thank you for all the milestones we shared together. We love you Bri & Justice🩷. This truly sucks. Until we meet again, the father of my child.
To MeMe, family and friends. You have my condolences on the passing of your first-born Jaylen. May God Bless you and wrap His Loving Arms around you and your entire family. Love you very much. Jeanette Lofton and family.
The demure of Mr. Jaylen has left a void in our hearts, but his loving nature is etched forever in our memories. We cherish the joyful times we spent together as depicted vividly in our keepsakes of photographs. Though parted by mortality for now, we harbor the expectation of reunion with him in eternity—our beloved nephew and sincere confidant who is afar, yet close to us in spirit.
We will always love you Jay!❤️❤️❤️🌹You will NEVER BE FORGOTTEN 🌹🌹🌹🌹❤️
From your Michigan Family! You will be truly missed Jaylen, yet never forgotten!❤️❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹🌹in our hearts forever!🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️❤️
