Family and friends, it is with heavy hearts that Owen and I inform you that our baby passed away in the early morning hours of July 30th. We are so grateful that he was able to feel our warmth for the first time and that he was able to take his last breath in the comfort of his dad's arms.

Since the day he was born, he fought so hard for his life. The devastation and heartbreak we feel is unfathomable. We loved Aries very much and longed to have him home with us. His brother was waiting for him, and to have to explain to him that his baby brother went to heaven is unbearable.

We are asking for prayers, support, and donations if possible during this unexpected and sudden loss. He was doing good until he wasn’t, and in a matter of hours, we lost him. I would love to give our beautiful angel baby boy the service he deserves. He was truly a precious gift, and our hearts are broken.

Rest in Peace, Aries Makana Mai Ke’akua
