Jaydan Douglas Thompson
May 18, 1998 — January 15, 2017
Jaydan Thompson, 18, passed away Sunday January 15, 2017 surrounded by family.
Funeral Service: Thursday January 19, 2017 at 3:00 pm at First United Methodist Church, Grapevine; Visitation: Wednesday January 18, 2017 from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm at the Grand Hall, 636 S. Main St. Grapevine; Burial: Historic Grapevine Cemetery.
Loved son of family, friends, and the community he enjoyed. He brought magic through his gentleness, joy, and courage to all he touched. He was always the first to find the good in people and draw it out in those he touched.
He passionately brought magic to children and adults through his dynamic mascot interactions as "Buster" the Panther at CHHS and Chuck E. Cheese. He ultimately wanted to make his dreams come true at the Magic Kingdom as a "friend of Goofy." He took the steps towards that dream and accomplished being selected through the Disney auditions, but never had the time to bring them his magic.
His warrior strength came not from asserting himself or promoting his cause, but from his tenderness and gentleness of serving those around him and making them feel loved. He was so innocent, a great example to young people and adults. Whenever people followed his story, they fell in love with his tale and they fell in love with him.
Jaydan is preceded in death by his grandad, Danny Thompson; great aunt, Sandra Tate; and cousin, Marabeth Cox.
Jaydan is survived by his parents, Chad and Sheri Thompson; brothers, Will and Kale Thompson; grandparents, Mayor William D. and Betty Tate, and Janie Thompson; aunt and uncle, Linda and Jason Thompson; cousins, Faith, Hope and Nathan; aunt and uncle, Lori and Brett Jackson; cousins, Breanne, Tate, Laci, and Isabelle; aunt and uncle, Keari and Michael Hatton; cousins, Ian and Ellee; aunt and uncle, Tami and Zack Pruett; cousins, Kate, Carly, and Claire; aunt and uncle, Kamara and Rod Cox; cousins, Aubrey, Ryleigh, Hannah, and Sarah; and many other family and friends.
