Kaden, a student, was killed Friday when he was hit by a Metra train. A fellow Napervile Central student, Mark Kim, started a Facebook memorial page in Kaden's honor and thousands of people have "liked" the page and commented since Friday. Kaden’s father Ken posted information Sunday about the memorial service on the Facebook page.
Friends have also created a Facebook group where friends can request to order T-shirts memorializing Kaden.
