Ayden James Phelps

Ayden was a beautiful and amazing boy, who was strong and courageous. He was funny, a jokester that loved to play little tricks. His sweet smile when his jokes and tricks were met with laughter could melt a heart. Ayden was full of life, and loved his family, especially his momma. Ayden was happy when his daddy visited and greeted him with a big smile. His Care Team and nurses were a part of “Ayden’s family”, and he loved every one of them. Ayden’s days were filled with school where he played with his friends and learned to communicate. He loved going to school and seeing his teachers. He loved to learn, but music was his favorite class. At home, he liked to watch cartoons with his momma; but was also interested in watching “big boy tv” with Don. He loved playing with his toys, especially the ones that were noisy! If they didn’t play a tune or melody, sing and light up, he wasn’t interested in it. He loved to interact with his speech aids that were in English or Spanish. Ayden loved going outdoors, long walks in the neighborhood or park, or even drives to visit the doctors. Ayden was a smart boy, who wasn’t limited by what he couldn’t do, always figuring out a way to do it. Ayden’s family is saddened by their loss, but they cherish the sweet memories and joy his life gifted to them.

The family will be hosting funeral services to celebrate Ayden on Friday, March 21, 2025, 11:00 a.m. at the Hope Lutheran Church, 3636 25th St S, Fargo, North Dakota. A luncheon will follow. Albeit brief, Ayden’s life touched many hearts and with the donation of organs, he continues to touch lives. Ayden’s family is thankful that Ayden’s passing was a gift of life to others.

Ayden was a hero that saved three lives leaving a huge, beautiful legacy from such a little man.
