Jayden Levi Harris born May 22, 2009, in Lone Tree, CO and then came to San Angelo, passed away at the age of 16 on May 11, 2026, in San Angelo.
Jayden was an incredible young man. He impacted everyone he met. He had a contagious laugh and smile that made everyone around him smile. He had a very generous and giving heart. In fact, his heart was so generous, that he chose to be an organ donor at the early age of 14 after speaking extensively with his mom about it. Many people are benefitting from the decision Jayden made a few years ago.
Jayden's heart extended to his cat, Scat, who he won over despite her inclination towards biting every other family member. Jayden's face was her favorite nap spot, and he affectionately allowed it; even though he was allergic to her.
Jayden cheered on the Colorado Avalanche hockey team with his mom. He loved to go to the shooting range with his Grandpa Les. He was on SACA's swim team and loved to be in the water! Jayden also had a love for video games and Snapchat filters!
He also participated in Leadership Training for Christ every Easter weekend. He loved doing the drama skit and was really good at it.
Jayden made everyone laugh so hard that it was difficult for the other cast members to keep a straight face during the performance.
Jayden loved his friends and was well-loved by them all. He had an intense love for his family and most of all he loved giving his little brother a hard time!
Jayden is survived by his mom, Shannon Harris, brother Jaxon Harris, and sister Jasmyn Harris. Maternal grandparents, Les & Karen West, uncles Nathan West (Nok), Jared West, and Aunt Elizabeth Vogelmann (Kevin). His father Jason Harris, paternal grandmother Donna Gary, Uncle Corey Gary, several cousins and too many friends to count.
The family requests that memorial donations in memory of Jayden be given to San Angelo Christian Academy.
