my son had to spend some time at cook childrens, we were given a book "watch out for banana peels" myy son laughed and smiled. It was nice on such a day such as this. It had a a label on the inside that said it was given memory of Xander. He truly is a little superhero thanks for raising such a great kid. 8 months after going home he is still making others smile.

I stumbled across this article and cannot believe the heroic efforts of this little boy. I know its been over 6 months but I am compelled to write a note to this family. This story brought tears to my eyes. I know your son is in heaven. I know if he had a chance to choose to help that kid he save he would again. Precious Xander RIP You are an angel.

I'm sure you will hardly find such a great hero like Xander in the whole world! Xander acted like an Angel and died as a great hero! It seems nobody can improve this action! I'm unspeakable how such a young boy can do such heroic things! That's fantastic and sad together! Xander did something I shall never forget he is a great inspiration for me and the whole world! A true idol he reached everything you can reach in life!
God bless him and his whole family!

As an immigrant grandfather I was wishing to have one of my descendants to become someone of importance in this great country, but now I feel fulfilled and highly honored that my grandchild served to our Lord in his purpose. I exhort everyone in my grandsons memory to love one another as our Lord Jesus commanded.
Mi grandson at four years old he was called by our Lord to serve his purpose, Xander without doubting took it. Many of us adults are sometimes called upon to serve our Lords purpose and we ignore it for one reason or another letting the opportunity pass by.

I have such a hard time wrapping my mind around such a precious person and the family that raised him to give to others even if it means sacrificing yourself. It breaks my heart to know the world lost such a special young man. I commend his parents for teaching him in such a short time that things aren't always about just you. I wish the world could be as selfless as this young gentleman because that is exactly what he was a gentleman. Even beyond his young life he gave the gift of life and love to others (thank you to his parents for knowing that is what he would have wanted). If everyone had his heart and soul we would be so much better off. This child and his selfless act takes by breath away and I will hold him in my heart forever. A true Angel on earth but Angels are relegated to be called home to heaven. Bless You Xander, you are my Hero!!!

Fly, fly little wing
Fly beyond imagining
The softest cloud, the whitest dove
Upon the wind of heaven's love
Past the planets and the stars
Leave this lonely world of ours
Escape the sorrow and the pain
And fly again
Fly, fly precious one
Your endless journey has begun
Take your gentle happiness
Far too beautiful for this
Cross over to the other shore
There is peace forevermore
But hold this mem'ry bittersweet

Hi Xander, you were just Ms. Shunda's "little hero", now you are a "world hero" You have done so much in so little time. I am proud of you, I know you will always be with us and you will never be too far away, as you now have wings and will watch over us all. To the Vento Family, one day at a time is all I can say and know your family is in my thoughts and prayers. Love Always, Ms. Shunda

Four years old! More of a man than most men. I wish I had the words to say. I can only imagine the pain you feel to have lost such a treasure. I know you must also feel so proud. I can see why God would want this little one back. I can only say that the story of this short life, lived on this earth makes me painfully aware of my shortcomings as a human being. That a child should set so high a mark for us is so humbling. I am so glad I'm not you and also so envious at the same time. I can't wait for God to wipe away our tears when we are finally with Him; to never feel this kind of pain again. God bless you. I am truly sorry for your anguish.

Sending sincere condolences to the Vento family and friends. You can be very proud of this young man. Until we can all see him again this is hoping all can find comfort from The Holy Writings that promises in the near future "He will wipe out every tear from your eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore" (Rev. 21:4). May heartfelt prayers console you always. In the meantime we can all be thankful that we have gotten to know such a beautiful young boy.

It took only four short years for this precious child to learn, and put into use a sense of selflessness that others struggle for a lifetime to find. His time on Earth may have been short, but he will continue to live on through his very caring act. Rest in peace, Xander.

Xander stood out from the crowd the first day I met him, as he immediately raced up to embrace our son, welcome him to their preschool and give me a high-five. Every school day thereafter, I looked forward to entering their room, knowing I would get not one, but two awesome young men racing to give hugs and exchange thoughts of the day. He will forever be remembered in this life, and we look forward to running the halls of heaven with him in the next.

It appears angelic Xander was a Divine Messenger from God. In his innocence, he accepted all knowledge trustingly. Without the experience of living, he did not comprehend what could be lost in death. Xander's natural ability to care for others directly resulted from the loving and guidance experienced within his home. It is obvious he had already been taught to accept life as it comes, one day at a time-one challenge at a time. It is likely, a short time preceeding this tragic occurrence, he displayed an astounding gesture of affection to at least one of his parents. With that last sign, it was his way of saying Good-bye, as if he accepted the knowledge of death as a part of life. Young Xander intended to share those memorable extraordinary events with all of us to pursue Harmony, as his everlasting gift of remembrance for him.
Lloyd Averkamp

What a wonderful little man you are Xander. Even though I am an adult, and almost 50 years your senior, I learned so much from you, and can only hope to be half the man that you are someday. And I really mean that. You are truly an angel who walked among us, and I am not only thankful for having known you, but am a better person because I knew you. You will truly be missed. Your friend, Mr Lloyd, The Colony.
