Ayden Lee Brown

Ayden Lee Brown, 25, of Zanesville, passed away on Thursday March 14, 2024. He was born on September 3, 1998 in Zanesville, a son of Bethaney Brown and Jack Brown. Ayden was a 2017 graduate of Maysville High School. Ayden loved getting buff at the gym, loved spending time with his family, friends, nephews and kids. He was always there to help others in and outside the gym. He had an amazing wit about him, always ready with a comeback to make people laugh. He gave all his friends nicknames and will always be remembered for his contagious smile.  Ayden was the rock for others to stand on when they were lost and needed help. He won his first competition at the Arnold Classic at age 15. He was a self-taught mechanic always fixing everyone else’s cars. His love for his brother Wyatt never changed and now they are reunited forever. The best thing you can ever give your child is a sibling.
