KCCF Jaden Stout Memorial Scholarship

Jaden Stout lived a lot of life in his 13 years. He was a student at Edgewood Middle School where he played baritone in the school band and enjoyed cheering on the Warsaw Tigers basketball team. He loved animals, racing, and playing video games. After Jaden died unexpectedly of natural causes, on July 9, 2013, his family created a scholarship in his memory.
