5-Year-Old Son Of 'Amazing Spider-Dad' Dies

Jayden Wilson, the 5-year-old son of "The Amazing Spider-Dad," died on Christmas Eve after a battle with brain cancer.

"Jayden fought an amazing battle. By far he was the most bravest person we know," a Dec. 26 post on the Hope For Jayden Facebook page reads. "But unfortunately late on Christmas Eve, Jayden Died peacefully in his sleep, warm in his bed. He looked so relaxed with a very subtle grin on his face. We believe he waited to be out of hospital to be with his family in the most safest place he knew."

Because Spider-Man was "one of his favorite heroes," according to The Independent, Jayden's dad, Mike Wilson, dressed up as Spider-Man for his son's fifth birthday in November and jumped from the roof of his home in south-central England as a birthday surprise.

“I’m so proud I managed to do this for him,” Mike wrote below the YouTube video at the time. “Today [Jayden] is still with us fighting [his illness] all the way, but at least he has Spider-Man to take care of him.”
