KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Those who walked the school hallways with Jayden Robker at Northgate Middle School are making sure his name stays alive.
Jayden, 13, was reported missing on Feb. 2 near near NW Plaza Drive and NW Plaza Avenue.
About six weeks later, his body was recovered from a body of water not far from where he was last seen.
Jayden's classmates at Northgate Middle School have covered his locker with photos and messages.
"We miss you," a message on his locker reads. "Gone but never forgotten."
Jayden's peers have also created posters honoring him.
One of the posters read "Rest easy Jayden R."
A display with Jayden's name along with a card signed by his fellow classmates is inside the case.
There's a stuffed doll of a Charmander from the popular anime Pokémon. Jayden enjoyed trading Pokémon cards.
