Jonathan Feser Obituary
Richland, Wash.
Einan's Funeral Home
Jonathan Moses Feser, age 2, of Richland, WA, died from pneumonia in his mommy and daddy's arms Thursday evening, April 3rd. .
Jonathan currently was at Seattle Children's Hospital after receiving a bone marrow transplant for Aplastic Anemia.
Jonathan was born in Tacoma, WA, on October 23, 2005. He was placed with his overjoyed parents for adoption at one day of age.
Jonathan was a "surprise" gift from God and truly an extraordinary addition his family. He was a delight and a joy from his first day till his last day.
Jonathan was created more lovable because he was chromosomally enhanced (Down Syndrome). He loved music and dancing, going bye-bye, and getting into his sibling's belongings. He loved when his mommy sang him Third Day songs, when his daddy would rough house with him, and when his big sister rocked him to sleep.
Jonathan made everyone who met him smile.
He was God's brave little soldier who fought a hard fight this past year against Aplastic Anemia.
He was cared for by skilled and loving medical staff at Kadlec Hospital in Richland, the Oncology department at Sacred Heart Children's Hospital in Spokane; as well as the SCCA and PICU unit at Seattle Children's Hospital. Jonathan was loved and embraced by his church family "The Reach" of West Richland.
Jonathan is survived by his parents, Mike and Julee Feser, and grandparents, Clarence and Pat Feser, Bob and Judy Tibbatts, and Earl and Lucy Larsen.
Twenty siblings were blessed to call him brother; adults Daliana, Lindsay, Cody, Tasha, Jake, Kayla, and siblings still at home Hope, Michael, Haimanot, Roza, Tigist, Yasab, Meseret, Miriam, Anna, Josiah, Berhanu, Maggie, MyHao and Solomon.
Jonathan was brother-in-law to Holly, Rob and Sean; and uncle to Maryn, Skylar, Silas, Lauren, and Robert. He is preceded in death by big sister Gayge and nephew Aiden.
