Ayden Cole Criddle

Ayden Cole Criddle was granted his angel wings, and returned home to his Heavenly Father on April 4th 2009. His final day was spent surrounded by his family that Ayden touched in a very big way, throughout his short, yet memorable life. He was born November 13, 2008 in Idaho Falls, Idaho. Ayders gentle smile warmed the hearts of those around him. And though he never spoke a word, his voice and thoughts could always be heard. Each day was a blessing and an opportunity to create lasting memories. Ayden loved to be held and rocked by his loved ones. He loved to hear his moms beautiful voice sing him to sleep. Ayders was a very strong boy. Ayden’s passing will remind others that his life is one to be celebrated, although we will miss him everyday, especially his loving eyes. He will always remain forever in our hearts. Through his teaching us about life, we were able to create wonderful memories and it has been a privilege to be his parents. We are so thankful Ayden’s aunts and uncles met their nephew and will hold dear the memories of his gentle spirit. Ayden leaves behind many wonderful caregivers that provided love and support. Ayden’s love extends to his wonderful nurses and doctors at Primary Children’s and EIRMC. Ayden is survived by his loving Parents, Bailey and Josh Criddle of Rigby, Grandparents Edward and Jennifer Andersen of Rigby, Denise and Parrish Criddle of Grant, Uncles, Preston Andersen, Taggert Andersen, Brandon Criddle of Rigby, Chris Smith of Idaho Falls, Aunts, Danielle Andersen, Lyla Andersen, of Rigby, and Stayce Smith of Idaho Falls, and many Cousins. He was preceded in death by his Uncle Wyatt Elton Andersen and Great Grandparents that are taking good care of Him.
