Aiden Eduardo Patricio Fernandez

On Wednesday, March 24th, 2021, Aiden "a quirky, loving little fireball," passed away in a car wreck at the age of 15.

Aiden was born on March 08, 2006 in Kansas City, Kansas to Nichole Fernandez (Barajas) and Jesus "Lalo" Fernandez. He was a freshman at Saint Francis Community High School and was active in wrestling and football. He lived at home in Saint Francis, Kansas, with his mother, dad, three sisters, and two brothers.

Aiden had a passion for building and creating. He wanted to be a carpenter. Aiden loved learning how to lay carpet the "Wright" way and was pretty good at it. He was a great help at the Hilltop Diner with his dad and grandma Jenny. He had such a great passion for helping people at any time. Aiden loved music, and cruising around town with friends. He loved all sports in school but wrestling was his heart. He collected all kinds of knives and even was trying to get his mom talked into a sword. Aiden adored his baby sister Briella and brother Benito so much. And Aiden loved to annoy Audrina, Jesus, and Kara. He couldn't help himself but to argue with his parents because he was "never wrong." He was known for his loving smile, his amazing personality, and his compassionate spirit. He always wanted to make people happy and laugh, no matter how silly he had to be. He was dedicated to anything he tried, or anything he agreed to help with. He was truly a one of a kind, special young man who was loved by people in all walks of his life.

He leaves behind his mother, Nichole and Dad, Dustin (Maybury), three sisters Audrina (Fernandez), Briella and Kara (Maybury), and three brothers, Jesus (Fernandez) and Don Benito (Maybury) of Saint Francis, Kansas, Levi (Vigil) of Kansas City, Kansas.

His two brothers from other mothers, Javier (Yanez) and Britin (Derieg). His honorary Nana Linda (and Brian Allaman) of Sharon Springs.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday March 27th, 2021, at the Peace Lutheran Church in Saint Francis, Kansas at One-Thirty P.M.
