"For you are dust, And to dust you Shall return."  Caden DeaSean Martin, 19, died a senseless death on January 30, 2024.

Caden was born on September 13, 2004 to Jessica Boyce and Schauwne Martin in South Charleston, WV.

Caden DeaSean was my beautiful, curly-haired boy who was a remarkable young man whose vibrant spirit touched the lives of all who knew him.  He had a charming, charismatic presence that when paired with his intellect illuminated every room he entered.  The radiance from his warm smile lit your soul and made you feel joy.
At a young age, Caden's determination fueled countless dreams and aspirations that inspired all who knew him. He exuded kindness, caring, and an unwavering respect for others, leaving an unforgettable mark on the hearts fortunate enough to share his warmth.

Caden will forever be in our hearts and our memories will live as beacon of love and joy.  Though his time with us was cut way too short, the indomitable spirit Caden shared will forever guide us as we remember and honor his extraordinary journey.

Caden was preceded in death by his great-grandparents, Elizabeth McDaniel, Ernest Braley, along with Alberta and Tom Martin.

He is survived by his parents, Jessica Boyce and Schauwne Martin; siblings, Thomas and Madison Martin; grandparents, Sandi and Cristian Cedeno, Jill and Tonto Martin; great-grandmother, Maxine Braley; aunts, Nikki Lopez, Sarah Boyce, Mandy Boyce and Liz Kim; uncles, Jason Boyce and Tony Chambers; honorary brothers, Jayden and Jayson Barnett; special friend, Emily Perry; along with numerous cousins, and his four legged best friend, Fat Boy.

The family requests NO phones and NO photos be taken during the service.  Also, please, show the respect the family deserves by dressing appropriately for a funeral service.  NO t-shirts with pictures of Caden or words to do with Caden's death.
