Beloved Abilene teen Brenden Baker passed away Monday at the age of 15.
Brenden’s family confirmed the news to our Abilene sister stations, KTAB/KRBC.
Brenden was born with a rare form of dwarfism that required him to be on oxygen at all times. It’s also the reason he was only 27 inches tall and weighs 24 pounds.
Just two years ago, Brenden helped raise more than $30,000 for the Children’s Miracle Network at Hendrick Medical Center, the hospital in which supported him throughout his life. He took donations for his birthday, rather than get presents for himself.
Family and friends said his positive, motivated and giving spirit will be remembered.
Funeral plans were not yet immediately known.
