October 4, 2020 - November 27, 2021

Louis was a son, grandson, cousin, nephew, friend, and beloved by all.

He was born October 4, 2020 and lived 419 days here with us before he went to his eternal home on November 27, 2021.  He was loved all over the world and everyone who saw a picture of his bright smile instantly adored him.  Louis was a fighter and lived up to his name everyday as he underwent 7 surgeries and spent the first 3 months of his life in the NICU.  He was diagnosed with a rare genetic syndrome, called Antley Bixler, that caused him to have to get a trach, gtube and colostomy but he never let those things slow him down.

Louis loved hiking, watching cars drive by, being with cousins, playing with his toys, and every second with his parents.  He adored his daddy and no one could make him smile like he could.  He will be greatly missed but taught us all so much about living life to the fullest.

We watched him smile after throwing up over and over again.

We watched him laugh after coming out of surgery.

We watched him overcome so many odds as he learned to crawl and pull himself up.

We watched him love life when he had every reason not to and he taught us that life truly is beautiful and such a gift.

So many of you have reached out, asking how to help Breck and Jacob. Thank you, we feel your care deep in our hearts. We chose to put this Go Fund Me together, because right now this is the best way to help them.

They do not know what all the costs will look like since everything happened while in Texas, so all money raised will go towards the logistics of coming back to Colorado Springs, funeral/memorial costs, and other needs that may arise.

If you are wanting to give in a different way, for more specific needs such as groceries, meals, etc., Venmo is also available. Please send directly to Breck at @Breck-Engle.

As the Engle family we just want to say thank you. Thank you for your love for our family and for helping Jacob and Breck in a practical way as they navigate all that is before them.
