  4. I am so grateful, so blessed and changed for the better, simply by knowing Kaiden. I made sure to always shake his hand and say hello, to fill him with pride and strength, as I am lucky enough to work in a cultural environment, and privileged to have watched him and the other Boorun Boys dance, many times. Kaiden’s spirit could be felt, it could be seen, beaming with pride. Kaiden was a light, Kaiden is a beacon of hope for our future. Long Live Kaiden. ❤️🦅👣✨

    In your short-lived 18 summers of life, you have warmed the hearts of an entire community and beyond. It just goes to show the type of person you are. Your energy and kind heart were unmatched. We’ve not only lost a leader; we’ve lost an Elder to be, an Elder that my sons would have turned to in times of need, For me, that was quite evident. I know in my heart your all your brothers will continue to lead, and honour your memory and be the example and strength this community and future generations need.

    We will miss you forever. Until we meet again in the Dreamtime. Love ya my boy 🖤💛❤️

  10. Dear Morgan & Johnston families,

    Deepest respect , love & condolences – an abysmal & tragic loss.

    Kaiden was an exceptional young leader. His dancing will be forever remembered in Boolarra – bringing culture back to this land – dancing sovereignty.

    His life & impact in his 18 years has rippled across many communities – like a pebble in water.
    Precious lad, may he rest peacefully..

  11. In Loving Memory of a Remarkable Soul
    Though your time with us was far too brief, your impact runs deep — kaiden you were the light that touched the lives of those around you, especially the brothers you held so close to your heart.
    You were more than a friend to my sons; you were family. Through laughter and shared dreams, through challenges faced side by side, you forged bonds that nothing could break. Your spirit, kindness, and courage left an indelible mark on them and all who knew you.

    It’s heartbreaking that your journey was cut short as I loved watching you grow into the beautiful young man you were, but your memory will live on, woven into the story of these young men who carry pieces of you with them every day. In their brotherhood, in their hearts, Kaiden you remain — a shining example of loyalty, leadership, strength, and love.
    Rest peacefully, my nephew . You are forever missed, forever loved, and forever a shinning light .

    Love ya Kaiden and I’ll miss your beautiful smiling face

  27. How lucky we are to have known Kaiden. He will always be a role model for my sons, and they will always look up to him and respect him greatly. Kaiden always had a hug, kiss and a conversation ready whenever we bumped into him. Our community has suffered a profound loss, but Kaiden will always be remembered as a beautiful, respectful, wonderful young man. Our kids can always look up to, and strive to be as proud of their culture as Kaiden is. With much love to Sasha, William, Hayden, Jayla, Jake, Kian, Angie, Mikey, Stevie, Ellie, Jaymes, William and Layla.

  30. My heart goes out to you beautiful one. So full of life and friendship, respect, proud of your culture, grateful for your family- so much ahead for you. And to be taken like this- how to make sense of this? As one of your TAFE teachers last year, it was such a pleasure to work with you and get to know you. You were a deep thinker and interested in learning and researching what interested you and sharing this. You showed a deep caring for your friends and encouraged them to study at the Koorie Unit and when we walked to the Library together or around the campus you knew so many other young people in all different courses. All happy to meet up with you. We had such good times cooking lunches together, you reading out from the Kooking with a Koori book recipes out loud making us laugh, was really fun. We had great discussions about so many topics. And watching you dance with the Boorun Boys was the best. And when I watched you last yeat at the ABC Take Over Latrobe Valley Awards night with Will and Tyrese in front of hundreds of people talk about culture and dance, I saw 3 young men, emerging leaders. You are an inspiration for us. I feel like a better person for having known you.
    My heartfelt condolences to your family and friends. You will always be remembered, always in our hearts.
