Ezra Jackson Thrasher

He never looked at anyone nonchalantly or flippantly~when he looked into your eyes he did so with such intensity that his deep blue eyes peered into your very soul. His giggle was bubbly and floated through every room in pure joy. He blew into every room like a wind~a refreshing chaos.

His presence made everything magical that entered into his chaotic charismatic orbit. He spun, bounced, and pounced through life and exuded pure light. He shone the brightest when he was swimming, dancing, and spinning. He loved being outside~being free.

He passed in his sleep September 5, 2026; sun-kissed, full, and happy after spending all day playing, swimming, dancing, exploring, and giggling. He will be fiercely missed by his mother, father, and brother.

His entire extended family, friends, teachers, and therapists, who made up his village of loved ones, will feel his absence.

The family requests that any memorial donations be made in Ezra's name to the Sunbeam Class at Vestavia Hills Elementary Dolly Ridge School (attention Amber Boylan [email protected]).

Acknowledgements:

The family would like to thank Superintendent, Dr. Todd Freeman, the Board, Mrs. Belski and the staff of Dolly Ridge for their endless support and their commitment to creating a place for Ezra to grow.

Thank you to the Sunbeam team for pouring themselves into Ezra so that he was able to thrive and feel loved.

Thank you to our family, we do not know what we would do without you. To our friends, thank you for the outpouring of love and support. We will never be able to come close to repaying everyone.

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens...a time to week and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance. Ecclesiastes 3: 1, 4
