We cannot thank you enough for honoring Aiden today after the game. From the entire family we are forever grateful for what you did. NBHL Bulter Feeze Butler Blizzard NBHL Butler Bantams

Butler is a great community. Hockey runs deep on and off the rink. We battle hard on the rink but we are family off the rink.

Who knew we would never get to sing happy birthday to you again. Who knew when we recorded us singing last year would be the last. Aiden, our son, not day a goes by we wish we could turn the clock back just a little longer to be with you. Not a second, minute, hour, day, and month goes by that we wish you were still here.

Good morning all! As we remember our beloved Aiden on the 6 month anniversary of his death, we also are dreading this Thursday, March 20 because our angel would have turned 12 years old. To honor him we are celebrating at his graveside and having a birthday party in his memory with his closest family and friends who supported him and all of us in his heroic battle! BUT WE NEED YOUR HELP WITH SOMETHING SPECIAL WE ARE TRYING TO PUT TOGETHER!

In honor of his 12th birthday, we are asking all of our family, friends and supporters to help us out! We are asking that if you personally knew Aiden, if you knew Aiden through his family and friends, if you knew of Aiden's story and followed his page, if you never met him but his strength and story helped you through your own medical or personal struggles, if you just want to wish him a happy heavenly birthday or just want to share your thoughts on his battle with cancer, we need your help!

During his passing and funeral, Mike and I were so overwhelmed by all the stories and things people shared with us from all over the country and world. We were told Aiden was a hero, that he gave several people the courage to continue fighting cancer, that he was so respected in the Pokemon, youtube and hockey community and now it would be nice to be able to put all the stories, pictures and sweet sentiments in a storybook to be able to gift to his grandparents, his brother and sister and ourselves during the next couple months (specifically for Mother's Day and Father's Day).

If you feel compelled to share anything with us about Aiden, his journey or just a happy birthday wish, this is what we need you to do!

Please email us at aidensbirthdaywishes2025@gmail.com. Please include anything you'd like story wise as well as if you have any photos to share of our baby! We are trying to keep all of the stories and sentiments in one location to be able to put together the book easier.

THE MOST IMPORTANT PART IS THIS!! PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR FIRST NAME AND LOCATION WHERE YOU ARE FROM. We know that this group has a vast range of locations and would love to see just how far Aiden's story has reached!

Please get these to us ASAP but we would really like to receive them all by April 20! This would give you guys a month to share with us!

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING ALL THE STORIES AND WISHES FOR AIDEN!

I want to share an amazing tribute to honor Aiden and his fight against cancer. For those who are familiar National Ball Hockey League is a ball hockey league that has divisions from coast to coast and is expanding leagues into Canada. The top teams in those divisions play in the Mylec Cup held in New Jersey. Last year at the Mylec Cup they honored Aiden. This year they are cementing his legacy. Despite being on extremely hard chemo he still suited up on Wednesday nights after an overnight stay Thursday into Friday. He did this for 2 months straight. All he wanted to do again was play hockey and we didn't hold back from living life to the fullest. We are extremely grateful and appreciative for the NBHL for honoring Aiden. Thank you again Butler Blizzard , NBHL Butler Bantams, Butler Township Dek Hockey for showing the support you guys had for Aiden and his fight against cancer. Thank you for letting him play just one more time."Fight like a kid, Fight like Aiden"

For anyone outthere that needs motivation or inspiration in their fight against cancer here is a video i shared on TikTok to help others in their fight. My fight to help kids will never be over. This is part of Aidens story i want to share with world. Seeing videos like this on TikTok and other motivation and inspirations is what pushed me and drove me. When the circle comes full round it's time for me to do my part.
Parents know you are never alone. Our inboxes are always open.

I wanted to share a story of a single father who is willing to do what it takes to fight for his son who is 12. His son relapsed from leukemia and packed up to move to Texas in order to get help the help needs. They started out at Pittsburgh. I seem this on facebook and it broke me because i know what it's like being on the other. No parent should have to make a choice like this .

Unfortunately the nonprofit i am working on isn't able to help yet but he could get all the help they need.
