Kanon is a 3 year old boy who loves dinosaurs and monster trucks. Kanon comes from a blended family with two sets of parents and 6 siblings in total who all adore him. Kanon is a sour patch kid; sometimes sweet, sometimes sour, but silly all the time. He is a gentle soul with a pure heart and unfortunately God called him home a lot sooner than we could have imagined. In June of 2022, we lost Kanon to an accidental drowning. Our lives have been changed forever, and we are trying to do our best to build a legacy for Kanon and spread the light and love we imagine he would have spread himself. We knew as soon as Kanon left us that we wanted to do everything we could to prevent any family from experiencing this kind of heartbreak. We got started on our foundation and ideas shortly after.
