Tayden Grohs

On June 25th, 2009, Tayden Dale Grohs was born to Trevor and Danielle Grohs. He was your average little boy who had a huge love for John Deere, Thomas the Train, and fire trucks. He loved being outside, playing in the dirt and riding his John Deere tractor. He also enjoyed golfing, swimming, baseball, and helping his Daddy around the yard or in the garage. He enjoyed every minute he spent with his cousins and he enjoyed being a big brother to Trace. He loved baking his favorite chocolate chip cookies with his Grandma Grohs and camping with his Grandma and Grandpa Hansen.

On August 22, 2013, at the age of 4, Tayden's life was turned upside down. He was diagnosed with Medulloblastoma, a brain cancer. He and his Mommy and Daddy traveled to Chicago for treatment and spent most of their nights in the hospital. But none of this made Tayden change who he was. He inspired more people than he ever realized and has always been a hero to all that love him. He taught his Mommy and Daddy more about life than they could have ever taught him. He made an impact on all those who followed his journey and he changed his Mommy and Daddy's life for the better.

On Christmas morning, December 25th, 2014, Tayden earned his angel wings. He was snuggled up with his Mommy and Daddy in his own bed, right where he needed to be. He spent his last few days on earth surrounded by loved ones who will miss him more than he will ever know but who are grateful to have shared that time with him.

Tayden will be lovingly remembered by:

His parents, Trevor and Danielle Grohs, who are so thankful to have felt his love, and his baby brother Trace, all of Egan, SD.
