Our Inspiration
Griffin is a middle child, between his older sister Grace and his younger brother Everett. He had big brown eyes and a smile that melted your heart. He loved all sports, but his passion for hockey and soccer was evident to those who knew him. Griffin's sense of humor was beyond his years, and it made you fall in love with him instantly. His zest for life was contagious and he coined our family phrase, "It's a great day to be alive"! He said this countless times in his short life, always with his hands in the air, looking up.
His dance moves made you want to join him, his laughter made you want to laugh right there with him, his smile -- hit you in your heart like nothing else. The bravery and courage he showed us throughout the last year -- there aren’t even words to describe it... but it made you want to stand by him and fight with him.
Griffin made not only his family and friends proud of the strength and bravery he showed over the last 14 months fighting the cancer but, the entire community that fell in love with him. We will never say Griffin lost his battle to cancer, but that he won... he won the hearts of so many. He taught us what true strength is, he taught us to never give up, he taught us to keep smiling, and most importantly he taught us love.
