Kaiden Scott Cherven

Kaiden Scott Cherven, 21, of Cadillac, Michigan passed away on Friday, March 27th, 2026 in Indiana. 

Kaiden was born September 7th, 2004 in Manistee, Michigan to Scott Cherven of Cadillac and Cheri Edens of Manistee. Kaiden was a hardworking man with a big heart. He was fierce and strong-willed. He loved hard and never gave up. Kaiden was a dedicated young man who loved sports, but most of all football. Kaiden's vibrant personality and generous heart made him one of a kind, a force to be reckoned with, and someone who left a lasting impression on everyone he met. In his final act of selflessness, he became an organ donor. Kaiden knew the Lord had bigger plans for him, while he is no longer here with us, he will now live on through others. He truly is our hero. 

Kaiden is survived by his parents, Scott Cherven (Jennifer), and Brooke Cherven; his siblings, Paxtin (Dakota), Jennica, Landon, Brianna, and Alex; his grandparents, Larry Cherven, Carol Norman, Bill Edens, and Patti and Manley Madden; numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and niece, Korra; and his work family and friends in Indiana.

Kaiden is preceded in death by his grandmother, Renate Edens.
