Aiden McKINNON Obituary

MC KINNON Aiden Anthony On April 8, 20011 at 11:12 PM, our amazing little warrior, Aiden Anthony McKinnon, surrendered into the loving arms of Jesus after a courageous fight since birth.

Melissa and Tom would like to express their sincere gratitude to the doctors and the nurses at The Toledo Children's Hospital and at The University of Michigan Mott Children's Hospital for their relentless admiration and dedication to Aiden. Friends and family will be received at the Main St. Church, 705 N Main St Walbridge, OH, Monday, April 11, 2011 from 4 - 8 P.M. where visitation will continue from 10 -11 A.M. on Tuesday, April 12, 2011 with a funeral service at 11 A.M. with Pastor Caldwell officiating.

Melissa & Tom, so sorry for your loss. Aiden is now your own personal angel watching over you.

Dear Melissa, Tom, Madison, Tyann and Michael....
We will be praying for your family as you say good-bye (for now) to little Aiden. This is a separation that is "temporary" because there's going to be a BIG Family Reunion in Heaven one day of ALL believers. That's what we're going to continually remind ourselves of because it's a Promise from God and we can TRUST that PROMISE ! We will be praying that you think of Aiden walking around in Heaven with Jesus and all the other little "angels" up in Heaven. May the Lord bless you all and keep you and make HIS face to shine on you all and be gracious to you .... and grant you HIS PEACE.
We love you ...
