Jaden Ryan Sherman

Jaden Ryan Sherman passed away at the age of 17, unexpectedly, on Friday, July 31, 2020, at Loyola Medical Center.  Jaden was born on October 24, 2002, the son of Brent and Janette (Frey) Sherman, in Aurora, IL.  He was a lifelong resident of Plainfield and attended Plainfield North High School.  He was very athletic and wore the crimson and white colors proudly on both the football and baseball field. 

Jaden was an extremely respectful, kind-hearted kid with a great sense of humor.  He had an infectious smile and made friends with everyone he met.  His love for his family was something that could never be questioned, he made it a priority to always show his affection and let his “Mama Bear” know how much he loved her.  A good son, a loving brother, and a dear friend, Jaden will be missed by all who had the honor of crossing his path. 

Jaden is survived by his loving parents, Brent and Janette Sherman; his brothers, Justin and Jordan Sherman; grandparents, Chuck and Peggy Sherman, Mary (the late Ted) Roberts, and John (Janice) Frey; and his aunts and uncles, Jeff Sherman, Greg (Heather) Sherman, Janelle (Tim) Peterson, and Brittany Frey.
