Ayven was a 6 year old boy with a big personality and a multitude of interests. He loved adventuring, whether that was going hiking, or hitting up one of his favorite restaurants or coffee shops, going to the zoo or aquarium, or to a theme park, or going on a cruise. No matter where he was or what he was doing, you could bet he was probably dancing while doing it. He loved collecting Pokemon and playing Pokemon Go. He also enjoyed collecting rocks, playing with magnatiles, coloring, painting, and collecting plushies. His interests were ever changing. He was into Among Us, Steve and Maggie, Mario Brothers, dinosaurs, cars, Harry Potter, and a multitude of other games. He also loved dogs and animals in general. Ayven was diagnosed with DIPG in May of 2025, right before his preschool graduation and his big brother's high school graduation. He completed radiation and participated in a clinical trial but sadly lost his battle on March 5th, 2026. He is missed by so many. We live on for him.
