Born: December 18, 2012

Passed: May 3, 2015

We lost our little boy this week. He now plays with Jesus. Most people knew him as Graeme Bone or Little Brother. He had the most infectious smile and giant brown eyes you could ever see. His voice was pure innocence. He was so smart. He loved everything that his big brother had. He loved tractors of all types, colors, and sizes. He loved tractor rides, swinging, and pacis of all flavors. He loved to cook with his momma and do anything his daddy happened to be doing at the time.

He was brought into this world in a whirlwind. He never had it easy in life due to his complex little heart and stomach. He was our little fighter. He spent the first couple of months flirting with the various nurses of the NICU. After that, he came home to spread happiness to everyone he came in contact with. So many people have benefitted from being around him. Although he had plenty of excuses not to be, he was the happiest little kid we could ask for. We are so blessed that we were able to spend these last two and a half years with him. He has taught us so much about family, love, and the gift of children.

He is survived by two very proud parents, Robby and Stephanie McDaniel; brother Mason; Grandparents Sammy and Diana McDaniel, Jerry and Cindy Verbout, Steve and Roberta Arnold; Great Grandparents Bob and Noelie McDaniel, Jack and Josephine Verbout, Teresa Montalto; Aunts and Uncles Matthew and Amanda McDaniel, Sara and Randy Lemoine, Josh and Makenzie Verbout, Jeff Hale, Sean and JoDee Hale; Cousins Carter (Carter-man), Molly, Madeline, Liv, Hazel, Cason, and Cooper. Pallbearers are Matthew McDaniel, Josh Verbout, Randy Lemoine, and Ciaran Crozier.
