In memory of Emerson Felix: a child gone too soon

***The One & Only GoFundMe page***

Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted people of the central Florida community and beyond.

We are writing to you today with a heavy heart as we all have been made aware that our beloved Emerson Felix, who was reported missing on October 14, 2024, to our chagrin, has been found unresponsive.

Emerson was a fun and strong willed 7-year old boy, who brought so much joy and kindness to our lives. He was loved by many. He loved his Legos, dancing to konpa and had a very keen optimism for learning new things. He is dearly missed by ALL of us. He leaves behind his father, mother, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.

We are reaching out to our community for support to honor Emerson’s life. His tragic passing is an unexpected loss that no parent should have to face or be prepared for. While we cannot remove the pain from his parents and family, we can help ease the financial burden. Please consider donating, as his parents take time from work to mourn his loss to lay Emerson peacefully to rest. We hope that we may send him off with dignity and respect while keeping his legacy of love and generosity alive.

*Emerson's mom, Andre is the designated beneficiary of this GoFundMe and she gave me permission to withdraw the funds in her behalf to help cover the procession with the upcoming funeral.

We also appreciate your thoughts, prayers and messages of support. We greatly thank you for all your support during this difficult time.

With a heartfelt gratitude,

Gourdet, Sylvain, and Felix Families
