Sebastian Morley Obituary
Sebastian Ryan, our little "monkey," left this world Wednesday, Jan. 22, 2003 in Seattle. He was surrounded by his family and friends, who will miss him beyond measure.Beloved son of Jeffrey Ryan Morley and Natasha Rene' Murfin, Sebastian was born May 11, 2002 in Olympia, Wash. From the moment he was born that early morning in May, Sebastian was full of life, a bundle of love shimmering from head to foot. Always curious and interested in the world and people around him, he loved his family and showered us all with his brilliant smile and trusting personality. The happy memories held by friends and family members will sustain us in his absence. We will remember and cherish the way he pulled your nose and clapped your face if he was really excited. We will laugh when we recall the way he loved to play peek-a-boo, even when he wasn't feeling well. We will think of his determination to crawl way before most babies do. We will smile when we think of the happy coo he made in the arms of his parents, a sweet note that sounded just like "mama" and just like "dada" depending on your point of view. We will all remember the way he would light up at the sound of his parents' voices-like his very best buddies were in the room and he knew there was fun to be had.Grandpa Morley will hold Sebastian's happy smile in his heart forever. Grandma Morley will remember how Sebastian loved his own little feet, always fascinated by them and sticking them up for all to admire.Grandma and Grandpa Bos will never forget this special little man who brought his family together, as it always should have been. Grandma will cherish her early morning hours rocking Sebastian and whispering in his ear. She will miss her "little crab" so very much.Grammy and Great-grandpa Riggs will hold his little heart in theirs and be forever thankful for the love Sebastian sent out to them over so many miles. Here on earth for such a short while, they loved him enough for a lifetime.Grandpa Asaph will remember always the fun of swimming together in the pool last summer.Nanna and Papa Hartley will forever hold Sebastian's big beautiful sparkly eyes and his angelic smile. And they are saying to Sebastian in their hearts "We'll see you again Tweetie." Auntie Tamara and Uncle Abe will never forget his amazing eyes and sweet little voice and Aunt Sarina and Uncle Jason will always remember his cute little chin and his big eyes.Uncle Justin, Aunt Alysia and Sevic will cherish him in their hearts forever.Sebastian will be missed by his special friends Tammy, MacKenzie and Kayden and by his pets Onyx and Orion.His memory will be most cherished by his beloved parents, Tasha and Jeff, who brought an angel into the world when they gave us Sebastian.
