Baby Simon Henry Goff

Obituary

Simon Henry Goff was born to parents Charlotte Koenig and Ryan Goff on September 30^th, 2016, at 7:17 in the morning in Hutchinson, Minnesota, joining his two and a half year old sister Eleanor and making his family feel truly complete. He weighed 6 pounds, 1.9 ounces, and was 20 inches long. He is perfect and beautiful in every way. He always was and will always be deeply loved by his family.

Simon did not have the easiest start to life. He was briefly hospitalized in November due to a condition called pyloric stenosis, which is a malfunction of a part of his digestive tract, for which he needed surgery. After his surgery, Simon somehow became even happier, more perfect, and more joyful. Anyone who had to the privilege to meet him during his short life would tell you that his smile took up his entire face; in fact, it practically was his face. His eyes were always sparkling, and he was so full of life and vigor and joy.

Simon passed away at home on March 10^th, 2017. His death was ruled a SIDS incident, with no apparent cause of death.

Blessed be his memory.
