Kaden Lee Graham, who left his handprint on the lives of those he met, passed away on Monday, Oct. 5, 2026, at his home in Doylestown while surrounded by the love of his family at the age of 23. 

Kaden was born in Wooster on Aug. 18, 2003, to Timothy L. and Daniell (Troyer) Graham and was a 2022 graduate of Norwayne High School and the Wayne County Career Center. He was deeply loved by his family and friends and will be remembered for his strength, generous heart, love of family, and passion for trucks, engines, and anything fast. He enjoyed driving truck for Amos Hauling and was always willing to help others, especially when something needed fixing.Kaden faced Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG), an aggressive form of brain cancer, with remarkable courage. Though his life was far too short, the love he shared and the memories he created will remain with those who knew him.

Surviving are his parents; his father and step-mother, Tim and Connie Graham of Doylestown; his mother, Daniell Graham of Apple Creek; sister and brothers, Kierra and her husband Christian Collin of Canton, Koen and his wife Alayna Graham of Rittman, Kaylee Graham of Doylestown and Cash Graham, Gino Jameson and Gavin Jameson all of the home in Doylestown; nephews, Grant and Chase Collin; his grandparents, Cindy and Terry Tressler of Cresson, PA, Barry and Pat Graham of Lodi, Belle and Eli Troyer of Apple Creek and Anita and Luigi Carozza of Canton and aunts, uncles, cousins and many friends.

Kaden was preceded in death by his beloved aunt, Janie Youngblood. His family finds comfort in the special bond they shared and in the thought of Janie welcoming him with the same love she always gave him.

Kaden’s memory will live on in the sound of a diesel engine, the sight of a fast truck, and the hearts of all who loved him. He will be loved, missed, and remembered always.

Friends will be received on Saturday, Oct. 10th from 3-5 p.m. at Murray Funeral Home in Creston. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to Cassidy's Hope Foundation, Attn: Nicole Jackson, P.O. Box 218, Medina, Ohio 44258 who helped out Kaden during his journey with DIPG.
