Roman Gabriel Eek

Roman Gabriel Eek, born in Ann Arbor on May 5, 2025, passed away peacefully in the arms of his parents on August 20, 2025.

We love you all so dearly and are deeply saddened with grief and sorrow for our tiny baby boy. Derek and Roman share a baptism date of 8/18 and I couldn't of felt more proud as a wife to my husband for taking that step and making it even greater to bring our child to the salvation of our Lord. We felt that God had heard our prayers, took our cries for help and saved our baby boy from anymore pain and suffering. He is free, at peace, and with those who loved all of us and preceded him in death. They will cherish him, love him and be with him until the time we can be all together again.

Roman is survived by his parents, Derek and Amber Eek; brother, Dane Rusu; grandparents, Michelle Poholski, Robert Eek, William (Robben) Rusu and Lynda Rusu; step-grandfather, Kurtis Minch; great grandparents, Bill (Alice) Rusu, Connie Boudreau, Steve Poholski; also many aunts, uncles and extended family.

Roman is also preceded in death by his great grandfather, Charles Boudreau; uncle, Justin Shilling; great aunt, Sheryl Conn.

A Funeral Service will be held at Lynch & Sons Funeral Home, 404 E. Liberty St., Milford, on Monday, August 25, at 12pm. Visitation will be from 10am until the time of service.
