Alasaashii Koondiilish "Walks in the Light" was born June 22, 2015, in Hardin, a son of Joseph Walks and Arthetta Stewart. He spent his two years at Hardin and Dunmore. Within the two years he had with us he was active, outgoing, cheerful and lovable. He mostly loved to dance. His favorite words were "Hi" every time he sees others. He would also use "bye" a lot as one walks away. He used "thank you" when things were given to him. Arturo's favorite movies were "Turbo," "Toy Story," "Jungle Book," and "Mickey Mouse Club House." When he watched these movies he always acted them out. He loved the nursery rhyme "Patty Cake." He loved to spend time with our family dog, June. He would follow June around the yard and hangout under the porch with him. He enjoyed getting doggy kisses. Most of all he loved spending time with his siblings, parents and maternal grandparents.
