Kaiden Lee Elliott

Kaiden Lee Elloitt, 18 of the Magnolia community in Western Stone county, entered his eternal rest Saturday morning, September 18th in Big Level. He was born May 2, 2003 at Forrest General Hospital, the third of six children and son of Jerrad Noel Ellsberry and Marty Joyce Lee. Kaiden grew up in Magnolia and was "all boy" from the get-go. He absolutely loved the outdoors, enjoying fishing, hunting and driving tractors. Kaiden did play baseball and football, both in the rec leagues and while in school, but his passion was hunting and fishing. He worked on the farm for Matt Hudson at an early age, working with tractors and doing whatever needed to be done, even driving trucks well before he had a license. He had been working for A&D Timber as a skidder operator recently, a job which he loved because he was outdoors and in the woods, right where he wanted to be. Kaiden is remembered as the most respectful young man, which went right along with his huge heart. He was ever ready to help anyone, no matter what the task at hand was. He worked hard, was so kind hearted and loved absolutely everyone. Kaiden enjoyed country music and thought the world of his family and siblings. Though he was here for such a brief time, he will be forever loved and missed by all who knew him. Kaiden was preceded by his maternal grandmother, Susan Whetzel and paternal grandparents David and Carol Dean Elliott. Left to cherish his memories are his large, blended family: his loving mother, Marty Lee, his father Jerrad Ellsberry, and his daddy, Chris (Tracy) Elliott; sisters Rochelle Willis and Mariah Elliott, both of Hattiesburg, sister Laini Ladner and brother Kolby Elliott, both of Lumberton, and his brother Kobe Jackson of Wiggins; grandparents Don Lee, June Stewart, Noel and Ava Ellsberry and Teddy Whetzel, along with numerous aunts, uncles, extended family and a whole lot of friends. Funeral services will be held at Red Hill Baptist Church with Bros. Jessie Johnson, Justin Davis and Pastor Jacob Smith officiating. Visitation will be Thursday evening from 6:00 until 9:00 PM, with another time of visitation Friday morning at 9:00 AM, with the funeral service to begin at 10:00 AM. Afterward, Kaiden will be laid to rest in the Mill Creek (Lee) Cemetery. Trinity Funeral Services is honored to serve the Lee/Elliott/Ellsberry family in this more than difficult time. Please keep them all in your thoughts and prayers through the days ahead.
