KENTLAND, Ind. (AP) - A 5-year-old Indiana boy’s love of Spider-Man inspired his mother to ask for a superhero funeral after he died from a brain tumor.
Adults dressed as Spider-Man, Superman and the Incredible Hulk were among the pallbearers for Brayden Denton’s funeral last week in the Newton County town of Kentland in northwestern Indiana.
Staci Denton tells WLFI-TV (https://bit.ly/1gZy5GR ) her son first was a Spider-Man fan but started liking more superheroes as he collected their action figures.
