5-year old Brayden had been battling an aggressive form of brain cancer since April of last year. Sadly, after 30 rounds of radiation treatment he didn’t survive. Six superheroes, Spider Man, Superman, Thor (Brayden’s uncle), the Hulk, Iron Man and Batman, served as pallbearers for funeral.

“He could care less about people being in a suits, ties and dresses,” said his mom to nydailynews. “He was a 5-year-old boy. That’s not what he thought was neat. He loved looking at superhero T-shirts.”
