Kolden Blake Jenkins

We gather today with heavy hearts to remember and celebrate the remarkable life of Kolden Blake Jenkins, a vivacious young boy who brought joy to everyone around him. Born on November 7, 2010, in Gainesville, Florida, Kolden, whose time with us was far too short, passed away at his home in Starke, Florida, on January 27, 2026.

Kolden was known for his kind and helpful spirit. Whether he was riding his bike, enjoying moments of adventure while fishing, or lifting weights while jamming out his music, Kolden approached life with a delightful enthusiasm. His quirky humor made every gathering feel special; he had a way of making people giggle just by being himself.

Family was incredibly important to Kolden. He cherished his dad, Michael, and they were best friends, sharing many wonderful experiences together. Kolden was also a loving brother to Kylee, Kaleb, Kinlyn, and Kaiden. He adored playing with his nieces and nephews—Molly, Mason, Henry, and Kentli—creating countless memories filled with laughter and fun that will always be remembered by all.

Kolden is lovingly survived by his mother, Stephanie Clemons, and a tight-knit family who will hold his memory dear. He leaves behind grandparents Jane Clemons, Mike Jenkins, and John and Linda Woods, who showered him with endless love and wisdom. He will also be deeply missed by numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. Kolden is preceded in death by his Grandfather Lamar Clemons and Grandmother Mary Jewell.

In honor of Kolden’s life, there will be a visitation on February 3, 2026, from 3 PM to 4 PM, followed by a Celebration of Life beginning at 4 PM to 5 PM, both held at the Archer-Milton Funeral Home, Lake Butler, FL. We invite family and friends to come together as we share stories, laughs, and tears in remembrance of, Kolden Blake Jenkins. Although his time with us was all too brief, the impact he made and the love he shared will forever resonate in our hearts.
