Born and passed onto the Heavens on October 20th, 2011 at 2:13pm. Born to Kandi Porter (Yakima, WA) and Erik Pearson (Phoenix, AZ) at Banner Desert Hospital in Mesa, AZ. He weighed 10lbs 6oz and was 22 inches long. He has touched many lives in the weeks he spent in the womb. He is in Heaven being held in the arms of his great grandparents William and Margaret Oswalt, Jennie Long and Charles Sweitzer. He is survived by his parents and siblings Kylie Yohn, Christian, Nikolas, and Ashlynne Pearson and Ayla-Marie Pearson, Grandparents Sandra Sweitzer and Kenneth and Karen Porter. He also leaves behind many Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins. He is forever in the Heavens awaiting the arrival of the rest of his family. A special thanks goes out to everyone who has helped us out in the last weeks, and to Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep for helping us to savor the memories of this difficult time. A wake will be held to celebrate the many people Ryder has forever touched. Ryder will be forever remembered in our hearts!
