Jayden was born May 13, 2008 in Brownwood, Texas to John Gowin and Jessica Gideon. He attended high school in Zephyr, Texas where he had many friends. Jayden loved shooting guns, riding horses, anything Rodeo and he loved riding bulls. He cooked crawfish and anything else he caught or hunted and was pretty good at saucing it up. He fished with his little brother, ran around in the trucks with the boys, country music always on the radio and dancing with the girls. He was very loving, had a big heart and was very protective of his baby sister Jholy. A strong headed boy, he always wanted to do things his way, pay for his own vehicles.
