Kayden Starnes

In Loving Memory of Kayden Starnes It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Kayden Starnes, who left this world far too soon on April 25, 2026, at the tender age of 15. Born on January 29, 2011, in the welcoming town of Harriman, Tennessee, Kayden was a spirited young soul whose light shone brightly in every life he touched. Kayden was the cherished son of Amber and Jessica Price-Starnes, who raised him in a nurturing environment filled with love and faith. From an early age, Kayden displayed a zest for life that was contagious to those around him. He attended Harriman High School, where he was not only a diligent student but also a vibrant part of the school community. A devoted Christian, Kayden was an active member of The Grove Church in Kingston, Tennessee. His faith was the cornerstone of his life, and he lived by his favorite scripture, 1 Corinthians 10:31, striving to do everything for the glory of God. His commitment to his beliefs was evident in the way he carried himself, consistently exhibiting kindness and compassion to everyone he met. Kayden's passion for football was unparalleled. The field was his second home, where he showcased not only his talent but also his love for teamwork and sportsmanship. His dedication to the sport was matched only by the joy it brought him, and he was an inspiration to his teammates and coaches alike. Tragically, Kayden's life was cut short due to an accident while attempting a triple backflip, a testament to his adventurous spirit and fearless pursuit of excitement. Although his time with us was brief, his impact was profound, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of those who knew him. Friends and family will gather to celebrate Kayden's life on April 28, 2026, at 6:07 PM, at The Grove Church, located at 123 Main Street, Kingston, Tennessee. It is here that we will remember and honor the vibrant young man who brought so much joy to our lives. We will celebrate his unwavering faith, his love for football, and the beautiful person he was. Kayden's legacy will endure through the memories we hold dear, the laughter he inspired, and the love he shared so freely. As we navigate this immense loss, we find solace in knowing that he is now at peace, embraced by the love of God. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to The Grove Church's youth ministry, in Kayden's name, to continue the work he was so passionate about. May Kayden's soul rest in eternal peace, and may we all strive to honor his memory by living with the same faith, courage, and love that he did.
