Easton James Root

Easton James Root met Jesus face to face on September 3, 2022.

"A warrior from day one, at three weeks old Easton underwent emergency surgery to remove a choledochal cyst from his abdomen. He was an active toddler who loved running, throwing, and catching, earning the “Sports Superstar Award” in his preschool. He began t-ball at age four and would count the days until the next practice or game. His hand-eye coordination, focus, and competitive spirit were as impressive as his determination and heart. He was known for cheering on his fellow teammates during the games, always showing good sportsmanship. On September 1, Easton went into surgery for a liver transplant at Texas Children’s Hospital. Mid-surgery, the doctors came out of the OR to give his parents the worst news imaginable. They couldn’t do the transplant. His organs were shutting down, and doctors told his family he would not survive. On September 3, 2022, Easton peacefully drew his last breath and left this world, surrounded by his loving family."

We can't wait until our reunion in Heaven. Until then... Easton Root, you are loved and never forgotten.

Much love,
