Jaden Gyamfi Dwumah Buahin

Jaden Gyamfi Dwumah Buahin, age 5 of Wayne, passed away unexpectedly on Friday, July 18, 2025.

Jaden brought laughter and joy to his home in Wayne, New Jersey, where he was lovingly raised by his parents Harriet and David Buahin alongside his four brothers. He had a remarkable gift for bringing smiles to everyone around him.

With his curious mind and creative spirit, Jaden found wonder in the simple things. He could spend hours absorbed in puzzles, his little hands working away to complete them. His imagination truly came to life when he played with Legos, creating unique combinations with the little connectable pieces. You could often find him clutching a handful of colorful pieces or other small treasures like his moldable Play-Doh.

Jaden also loved his tablet, typing, texting, and emoting with emojis to express himself. Music brought happiness to Jaden that couldn’t be replicated. He enjoyed singing nursery rhymes especially his beloved, “Five Little Ducks” song that he loved to recite.

Jaden will also be remembered for his tireless energy! He was always in motion climbing, running, and filling the house or school with his wonderful belly laughs that were infectious to all. He also loved to play leapfrog games that taught the alphabet, always signing along with joy.

His loving and affectionate nature touched everyone who knew him. Jaden’s favorite foods were pepperoni pizza, Lay’s potato chips, and Sugar Bread, a special Ghanaian treat that connected him to his family’s heritage. He also loved snacking on raisins and cranberries and other sweet treats.

The Preakness Early Childhood Center in Wayne became Jaden’s second home, where he quickly became a beloved part of the school family. Though his time there was brief, he left an indelible mark on the staff and students. His favorite teachers, Ms. Hanan and Ms. Carla, held special places in his heart, and he in theirs.

Faith and God played an important role in Jaden’s life. As a cherished member of the Children’s Ministry at the Church of Pentecost, he joined his family for worship every Sunday.

Jaden’s five years were filled with laughter, creativity, love and boundless curiosity for the world around him. His memory will be a source of light and joy for all who were blessed to get to know him.

Jaden is survived by his parents Harriet and David Buahin; his brothers: Enoch Buahin, William Buahin, his twin Jason Buahin, and Bryan Buahin; his grandparents: Alice Buahin and Beatrice Boateng; and many aunts and uncles and extended family back in Ghana.
