Phoenix, AZ- Kaden Scott Hagler, 22, of Phoenix, AZ passed away unexpectedly on March 09, 2022.
Kaden was born August 31, 1999, in Pocatello, Idaho, son of Brian Scott Hagler and Cathy Leanne Winward. He was raised primarily in southern Idaho, although he did live briefly in both Colorado and Nevada before making his forever-home in Arizona.
Kaden relished being the center of attention and had a sense of humor that few could resist. His curiosity and imagination led him to conquer youthful challenges and feats alike. Kaden was his happiest when surrounded by family and friends, playing with his dogs and sphynx cats, or engaging in physical recreation. He loved the sport of football and cheered for the Dallas Cowboys even in their losing seasons. Following his twenty-second birthday, Kaden set a goal of becoming a licensed electrician with dreams of someday owning his own small business. In his short time on earth, Kaden impacted the lives of many, loving deeply and selflessly.
Kaden was a baptized member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and ordained to the office of a Teacher. With his unexpected passing, his family and friends look joyfully toward a glorious reunion in the life hereafter.
Kaden is survived by his mother, Cathy Leeanne Winward; sister, Leona Elizabeth Winward; father, Brian Scott (Jill) Hagler; three siblings: Alexis Taylor Fisher, Ainsley Paige Hagler, and Boston Crew Hagler; grandparents, Carl W. Winward (Tina), Gary Verne (Karla) Hagler; uncles, aunts, and cousins. He was preceded in death by a grandmother, Sheila Louise Jones Clayton.

Cathy and Leona, my family and I are completely broken hearted for you. Kaden, I remember growing up with you, taking Heidi for walks years ago around the softball fields and getting ice cream from the ice cream truck. I would show up in the evenings after work and we would grab Lady and Leona go for those long walks around the golf course. You showed me what it is to be an amazing son and wonderful brother. You are strong and you are beautiful and it has always been a blessing to have you in my life. I will live with you by my side forever, and I will love you for even longer.
Kaden, I want to thank you for being an amazing friend to me. I have had some of my best moments with you and I thank you for everything you have done for me. You joked around with me and teased me and made me feel normal and loved, regardless of my disabilities, and I could never thank you enough. I hope you know how truly loved you are and always will be.
Cathy, you raised a beautiful man who was one of my best friends. He is kind and funny and has always been there when we needed him. Thank you for letting me love him while I could.
Leona, I hope you know that Kaden is one of the best older brothers any girl could ask for. You have a lifetime full of memories you get to cherish forever.
I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your entire family.
John 14:27 – Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Brian you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers during this most difficult time.
Kaden, you were like a son to me. I’ll never forget the many long talks you and I had. The bike rides we would take with Lady, Jet-Guy and Mini around the golf course late at night. I’ll always remember the inside jokes you and I had. How you liked spicier food than I did and how you would get a kick out of it every time I called you my Mexican-white boy. I’m going to miss walking into the house and calling you “my handsome” and you smiling back at me with that infectious smile that could melt anyone’s heart. Cathy told me that you shaved your head a couple of weeks ago. She also told me that when she asked you why you did it you just gave her that mischievous giggle and smiled at her without a word. Before knowing you were gone, I shaved my head last Wednesday. Then I got the phone call. But I know why you did it. And that means more than you will ever know. I will always cherish you being my biggest supporter. I love you more.
Cathy, I cannot even begin imagine what you are going through and the pain this is causing. But I want you to know that I appreciate you allowing your kids to love me as if I were part of the family. You’re an amazing mother and Kaden never went without because of you. He had everything he needed and everything he wanted. He loved you more than he could ever express to you. Kaden and I had many conversations about you and Leona and he loved and appreciated you because of the love and protection you gave him. He knew no matter what happened or what he went through, you always had his back.
Leona, your brother loved you more than he loved himself. He told me he would always protect you no matter what. He couldn’t talk about you without having a huge smile on his face. He always told me how proud he was of you and how smart and intelligent you are. He loved hearing you sing, so don’t ever stop. He knew you were going to be someone important someday, but you are already the most important person in his life alongside your mom. Just remember, Kaden will always be your guardian angel. He will watch you and protect you for the rest of your life. He will be listening to your lovely melodies.
Kaden, Cathy, Leona… I love you more.
Cathy,

Because I call myself a friend of you, I chose to laugh when you laugh and mourn when you mourn. All my love is with you and your family. May God be kind and give your family strength during this difficult time.
