He enjoyed kisses and hugs from his big brother, Tristan. We enjoyed every moment with our baby boy and wouldn't trade it for anything. He was a fighter his whole little life, and he just couldn't fight anymore. He'll always be our “Monkey Sprout!” He was preceded in death by h i s g r e a t - g r a n dmo t h e r Marguerite Deering and his great-uncle, Chuck Deering.
