Karl challenged the medical world since one year of age. Unfortunately, the mystery remains as complications could not be fixed.

Although Karl could not speak, his smiles communicated loud and clear. He loved to be around people and to go on walks to see his friends & neighbors who all knew him from blocks away. Karl had so many wonderful dedicated & compassionate caregivers over the years. They loved to read to him, sing to him or watch movies and wrestling on TV with him. He loved to smile when he had presents coming for them or they asked him if they were too big or when they knocked something over accidentally.

Through the power of prayer from so many in Karl’s life, Karl pulled through many struggles along the way. Each day and smile was a gift from God. His smile lit up the world especially after his confirmation by Bishop Kagan at his home on February 12, 2017. What a miracle this was for Karl to show he was at peace and how he loved those around him that were able to witness his abundant and precious smiles during his final month.

God picked the 1st day of spring with a light rain to call sweet Karl Home to Him. His body will be placed on the top shelf in the mausoleum next to his Grandpa Stanley so they can hear the rain together. His grandpa had died two months before Karl was born but now they can rest in peace together.

Karl was a teacher of love, patience, and kindness. Karl looked upwards to God & the angels often throughout his days and nights, and he now walks with them, restored to perfect health and vitality. Thank you God for all his smiles. May they continue forever from above. His smile will always be remembered.

Matthew 19:14
But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me and do not try to stop them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”
