Jayden Montez Cotton gained his heavenly wings on Sunday, May 26, 2024, at FirstHealth Moore Regional Hospital, surrounded by his family and loved ones.

Jayden was born in Pinehurst, NC, to Katrina Baldwin and Derrick Cotton. He was raised in Aberdeen, NC. Jay brought immeasurable joy and light into our lives with his kind heart, radiant smile,  and boundless curiosity. He could be seen from his early years riding anything with wheels and hanging out with his friends. Jay had a passion for anime, motorcycles, ATVs, cooking, and talking  junk with anyone who could keep up with him. Jay will always be remembered as a kind, spirited man who would offer a  hand to anyone in need. He took great pleasure in helping others in need.

Jay was on his way to achieving many accomplishments. He was attending Sandhills Community College to receive his degree in Diesel Mechanics. Jay was looking forward to applying his  expertise by working on diesel trucks.

Jay was preceded in death by his grandfather Rusty Disney, who is waiting to greet him in Heaven with open arms, along with great grandparents who loved him immensely.
