Sutton Boyd Hepker: 2024

Sutton Boyd Hepker, precious son of Aisha Edwards and Theron Hepker, was born on July 11, 2024, and peacefully left us on August 4, 2024. Although Sutton was with us for a short time, he touched our hearts deeply and brought a unique light into our lives. He was a beloved little soul who found joy in the simple comforts of being held and loving sounds of his mom and dad’s voices. 

His brief presence was filled with tenderness and affection. Sutton’s time here, though fleeting, was a reminder of the beauty and fragility of life. His parents cherished every moment with him. Aisha and Theron will especially miss his almost “Oinking” noises he would make when he got hungry, him always having his hand by his face when he slept, his active sleeping, how calm of a baby he was, him grabbing the tops of their finger with his whole hand, his beautiful grey eyes, how perfect he was, especially his tiny hands and feet.
