Aidan James Prows (or, as he loved being called, Sonny Jimmy), was a fountain of joy, radiating humor, charm, and courage for all who knew him. Born on April 26, 2004, he spent his first ten months in hospitals, struggling for life against what seemed like insurmountable odds. Holly first met Aidan in February 2005 at the nursing facility where she worked as one of his therapists. Upon learning he was a ward of the state, we visited and took care of him every day until we could bring him home, first as foster parents and then as adoptive parents. We felt like we won the lottery!
Aidan loved to play video games and would spend hours looking for new games and research the content ratings of each game. He loved to rock side to side while listening to music. He had a great sense of humor and loved physical comedy. Known for his unique and often hilarious way of expressing himself through texts with everyone, we will deeply miss the simple "Hiya" text from him throughout the day, his love of the words "pervasive" and "mischief" and even more his "Goody nighty."
Aidan spent a lot of time in the hospital. Caregivers often told us they loved taking care of him because of his fun personality. Adian was a rare soul who repeatedly survived medical crises. Each crisis took a toll on his body, however, and throughout his life we had to increase life-support measures, until eventually his body could no longer sustain life without suffering. So with great sadness, yet so much love, we bid him "Goody Nighty." His parents Martin and Holly and his sister Halle will miss him deeply, as will all his family and friends. We know he is at peace now, and that brings us great consolation. We wish to express our love and heartfelt thanks to the many caregivers who have helped us care for Aidan through the years.
We celebrate the vibrant life of Aidan James Prows, our Sonny Jimmy. Please join us on Saturday, June 22, 2024, at 2:00pm MDT, at the Jenkins-Soffe Funeral Homes & Cremation Center, 1007 South Jordan Parkway, South Jordan, Utah, 84095. Dress comfortably, because this is a party to celebrate his amazing life. We encourage everyone who knew Aidan to come and share their memories, photos, and stories to remember and honor the joy and laughter he brought into our lives.
May you find "pervasive rest." We love you, sweet boy!
