In Loving Memory of Junior

On Tuesday, July 15, 2025, a tragic accident occurred while Junior was spending time at Indian Well State Park. He was immediately transported to the nearest hospital and received the best possible care. Surrounded by his loving family, Junior peacefully transitioned on Friday, July 18, 2025, at Yale New Haven Children’s Hospital ICU.

This unimaginable loss has left his family and loved ones heartbroken, navigating a grief no parent or community should ever have to bear. At just 5 years old, Junior was full of life—always smiling, laughing, playing with his dinosaurs, and brightening every space with his joy. He was truly a light in the lives of all who knew him.

Though his time with us was brief, it was deeply meaningful. We take comfort in knowing that he is now resting in perfect peace, embraced by God.

As his family processes this heartbreaking loss, we’ve created this GoFundMe to offer support during this incredibly difficult time. Your prayers, love, and any contribution—big or small—mean more than words can express.

We miss you dearly, sweet angel.
