Brayden Lee Denton, 5, of Earl Park died at 11:15 pm, Thursday, May 8, 2014 at Riley Children's Hospital, Indianapolis after a 13 month fight with brain cancer. Brayden, born on February 12, 2009 at Home Hospital, Lafayette was the greatest joy his mother, Staci Denton could have ever asked for. He attended Bethany Child Care and Pre-school in Lafayette. Brayden enjoyed all sports but absolutely loved baseball. Being the typical "American Boy" he enjoyed superheroes, especially Spiderman. He would watch the Spiderman movies over and over and last weekend he even went to the movie theater to see the latest Spiderman movie. His mom, Staci also stated that he was crazy about the monkey bars and would play until his little hands were blistered. She would tell him that it was enough and he would wait until her back was turned and then run back to the monkey bars. Brayden brought a smile to everyone who knew him and to know him was to love him. He is survived by his mother, Staci Denton of Earl Park; His grandparents, Karen Rodgers (husband: Junior) of Earl Park; grandfather, Tony Denton of Earl Park; 2 uncles, Cory Denton of Lafayette, Lucas Denton of Earl Park, 1 step-aunt, Kalin Rodgers of New York, 2 cousins, Brad and Niki Denton of Indianapolis, and great-grandparents, Delmer Denton (wife: Ellen) of Gilman, IL.
