Our brave warrior Ari was an avid 500 piece puzzle maker with a photographic memory, a diehard Mario fan and an elaborate Lego cars builder. Although he was just in kindergarten when he was diagnosed at the tender age of 6 with the deadly DMG in his cerebellum and brain stem on Christmas Day of 2023, nothing could stop his enthusiasm for life. He was extraordinarily intelligent and his name was in the list of students to be graduates to 1st plus 2nd combo grade. Ari found his peace in Jesus and was baptized in September 2024 at Life Valley Community Church. Ari was a twin brother to Rudy and we miss him very much. Nov 16 2025 marks his first Heavenly Birthday. Ari ascended to Heaven on Dec 27 2024.
