Kaden was only 15 and suffering from a toothache, which he had an appointment later in the day of November 29,2021 to visit a dentist. His older brother of 17 found him already gone that morning . It took us nearly 6 months to get a toxicology report to explain to us why a healthy boy of 15 would suddenly die . We suspected it was a pill however , because the coroner found half of a blue M30 in his pocket . Which we found out was generally a counterfeit pill and fentanyl. It was confirmed via toxicology that's what took his life . There was enough fentanyl and analogs of the drug to killed him many times over . The coroner labeled his death an accidental overdose which sickens me , because he was poisoned, and probably by someone he thought of as a friend trying to help him with his toothache.Hiz story is messy because he had many other issues being diagnosed as ADHD and other disorders which lead to many issues in school and a large group of IEPs. Regardless of all of that he was loved and looked up to by his 7 younger siblings and cherished by his older brother, parents, grandparents, aunts , cousins and many friends. He was actually a very loving child and as loyal as they came . He looked out for the underdogs in life and would call anyone a friend , especially if he felt they were considered the disposable people in life. He would give you the shirt off of his back , and fight for you if he loved you . He loved dogs and video games , and his friends and family . He was quite the grill cook and loved to make steaks on the grill. His laughter was contagious. His life mattered . He will never be forgotten as there was so much more to him than his short story allowed .The love we have for him and the amount of missing him from our lives is immeasurable . All the firsts stolen from him and all the memories we should have gotten stolen from us by half a counterfeit pill filled with a drug we hadn't even truly heard of before . We will truly miss Kaden or as we called him KJ or little let me playfully, due to him constantly saying let me do or get this or that. I would gladly have all the bad or even sad times back that we did have with his diagnosed disorders just to spend another moment with him and hug him another time . With all of our love we miss and love you and will never forget you Kaden James Michael Chapel .
