The sun rose in the life of Michael Jayden Maslo on May 24th, 2002. Sadly, his journey ended on August 1st, 2023. Michael is preceded in death by Simeon (Brother) and Rose Marie Maslo (Grandmother).

He loved playing basketball, playing video games especially Madden/NBA Live, and hanging out with his friends. In May of 2020 he graduated from Pattonville Highschool. He was currently attending college at Southern Illinois University Carbondale (SIUC) where he was majoring in sports media. He was very proud of his accomplishments and wanted to become famous so that he could take care of his parents. Jayden and his dad Michael were best friends. Jayden could have not asked for better parents.

June 17th, 2022 Jayden's life changed forever, and this tragic accident changed the lives of everyone around him. During this challenging time, he had a tremendous amount of moral support and love. Rajiah Johnson (Girlfriend & Caregiver) stayed by his side from the beginning to the end of our son's life. Her parents Rajah and Shenelle Johnson were his bonus parents that took him in and treated him like their own.
