Kaiden Michael Kauffman, age 12, of Isanti passed away unexpectedly at home on September 22, 2017. Memorial services will be held at 11:00 AM on Friday, September 29, 2017 at New Hope Community Church in Cambridge with a visiting time 1 hour prior.
Kaiden was born February 16, 2005 in Mora, MN to John Paul Kauffman and Ashley Rose Hanson. He was raised by his grandparents Nathan and Dawn Mace in Isanti, MN where he attended the 7th grade at the Minnesota Center.
Kaiden enjoyed many things including video games, music, fishing, basketball, football, BMX, hunting, and spending time with family.
Kaiden was a boy who had a compassionate heart and felt every emotion deeply. He loved his family more than they probably knew. He battled many mental health issues throughout his life. His family did their best to walk beside him and support him in his journey. Unfortunately it was a battle lost.
I had Kaiden as a student in 5th grade. He was such a compassionate young man. He would bring me chocolate or a coffee and his smile would be beaming. He will be missed. My heart aches for his family and friends.
I was Kaiden’s teacher for 2nd grade and his math teacher for 4th grade. I really enjoyed having him in my class. He was a very caring person and he made me smile. My heart goes out to his family at this time. I pray that God will give you comfort. Hugs and love to all of you.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of the family. We knew Kaiden through BMX and he was always so kind when he came into the BMX shop. He always had a smile on his face!
I pray you all have love and support at this time and Kaiden is resting in peace.
💚 may you find peace knowing he is at peace 💚
So Sorry for your loss 💚
I did not know him well, but he was always a sweet boy when I would see him. My daughters were his teammates in BMX. My deepest condolences and prayers to all if you during this very tragic time. May God hold you all in his arms and give you comfort.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to your family. My son raced Kaiden and he was a tough competitor. Sorry for your loss.
I did not know Kaiden long, I drove his transport in the morning, but he was a very sweet boy. We had a few giggles together and I will miss seeing him every day. I cannot express how very sorry I am for his family and friends’ tragic loss. Much love and many prayers from our family to yours. He will be missed.
Thinking of you and your family Nate. Though we never met Kaiden, I know how much you have done. You are amazing. Prayers to you.
Love,
Amy & Jerry Smith

“God is our refuge and strength; a help that is readily found in times of distress.” (Psalms 46:1) I don’t know what to say except that I am sorry for your loss. I don’t know exactly how you feel, but the Almighty God does and he will keep raising you up. And I pray that the above words will give you some comfort at this difficult time.
I knew Kaiden when he was a student at SFAS . I’m the Media Specialist and I always enjoyed when he came into the library. He always had a smile and I remember him as very caring and thoughtful person. My heart goes out to your family. I just wanted you to know that I thought he was a special young man. Prayers and thoughts to all of you.
To Kaiden’s family – I’m so sorry. Kaiden was a student in my kindergarten class and we all enjoyed him and will miss him. I am praying that God will give you strength and comfort in this terribly difficult time. Thinking of you.
