He is so loved & deeply missed by his Mom, Dad, Big Brother Xander & two Big Sisters Rowyn & Isabella.

“Born still, perfect.
An yet the beating of your heart was silent. The breath of life from lips not felt.
Your lashes did not flutter
Unopened eyes never held our gaze
The grasp of your fingers still and without strength.
Your arms will never reach for us, feet carry you to our embrace.
And we will never hear the music of your voice or know the sweet fragrance of your skin.

When did the tide of death steal you away? If we could breathe our own life’s breath, give you minutes, days, years, we would.
But we are not the author or deliverer of life.
We cannot solve the mystery of spirit and of soul, or remove the shroud of death that holds you still.

Sweet child whose life will ever live within our dreams.
We speak your name upon the wind and it is carried far away. But you remain imprinted in our hearts, Forever.
