Obituary for Jayson M. Warren

The following memorial tribute was written by Jayson’s loving family:

Jayson Michael Warren, age 24 years of Chaffee, Missouri, passed away Sunday night, July 9, 2023 at 11:51 PM at his residence surrounded by members of his loving family.

Jayson Michael Warren was born January 13, 1999 in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. He was the son of Janice Warren Aaro. Jayson was a hero to all. Looking at this world through his eyes was truly amazing. He had a heart transplant as a baby and he fought colon cancer three times, ending up with a permanent colostomy. In 2013, he developed Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and scoliosis. Then, renal/kidney failure which ended his precious life. The numerous surgeries and obstacles he had to endure were insurmountable.

This sweet, loving child enjoyed life, even though he was limited to what he, himself, could do. He loved watching other children play, loved watching others talking and laughing. He loved helping anyone he could as long as his body was able. He enjoyed talking of his love for God and his love for us. He also loved talking of receiving a new body when he made it to Heaven.

Jayson loved wrestling and throwing a football, especially with his Uncle (Boo-Boo) Rex Howard, Jr. whom he looked up to all his life.
