Ari J Diaconis

Ari was one of my son Elan's earliest and best childhood friends. His impish smile was proof of a mind that was always thinking of the next adventure, the next challenge. I once found Ari climbing into one of our upstairs windows and asked him why he didn't just knock on the front door. He replied, "To prove I could." I knew instantly, Ari was a "Prince of the Universe". A unique soul waiting to fill the world with fancy. "Goodnight sweet Prince, and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest."

I loved Ari's message in modern love- what a beautiful essay.

I recently heard Ari's essay on Modern Love and wanted to share with his loved ones how inspiring it was. How lucky to have known, shaped and been shaped by him during his brief yet impactful time here. May your memories sustain you for a lifetime.

Sorry to know u in this way. God bless u. Condolences from china
