Kellen vows to honour late twin’s Dubai dream

He was dealt a severe blow when his identical twin, Kaden, collapsed and died last Tuesday while participating in a warm-up session for a soccer match.

Kaden, 15, a Grade 10 pupil at Glenwood High School, is suspected to have suffered from cardiac arrest.

Speaking to the POST on Monday, Kellen said he was still trying to come to terms with the fact that he would not spend time with Kaden again.

He said they shared a special bond.

“Like any siblings, we fought but we always made up. I was always there for him, and he was there for me. If | needed to speak to someone and it was some- thing I couldn't share with anyone else, he was my go-to person, and vice versa.

“I knew my brother had a dream of becoming a businessman, and he wanted to open 10 businesses in Dubai. I will honour his dream no matter what,” he promised.

Kellen said he would miss his broth- er's jokes.

“Every day, he randomly searched for ‘dad jokes’ and shared them with us at supper time. He was very outgoing and always liked to have fun. Even though he was only a few minutes older than me, he acted like he was so much older. I will miss all the fun we had together,” he said.

Their older sister, Bré, 16, said she had last spoken to Kaden the morning before he left for school.

“Kaden stayed up all night studying in my room. He woke me up to ask if I was going to school and I said I was not as we were not writing an examination. He had to go as he was writing a test he had missed the previous week because he had the flu. He slept next to me, and then after a while he woke up to study further and then fell asleep again at the desk. Our dad got him up to get ready for school.
