Oliver Grayson Maclachlan, newborn

“Heaven’s gain was our loss when our angel was called by our Lord.”

Oliver came into this world too soon and was taken too soon.

Oliver blessed us a couple of months early on Dec. 21, 2011, at 11:53 a.m. and, although he was only with us for a day, he taught so many people so much. He weighed just 5 pounds, 5 ounces and was 15 inches long. Oliver passed away the next day at Phoenix Children’s Hospital in his parents’ arms at 6:30 p.m., Dec. 22, 2011, after battling a rare sacrococcygeal teratoma. He has so much love from so many people and is missed so very much. He will always be in our hearts and always be Emmy’s little Ollie.

 Oliver was the son of JenaRae Cenis and Bradley Maclachlan. He is also survived by his big sister, Emerson Maclachlan; his aunts, Asya, Bryttne and Lila; and uncle, Nick. His paternal grandparents are Debbie Tarbert of Kalispell, and Phil and Inna Maclachlan of Seattle; and maternal grandparents are Ian and Becky Cenis of Bigfork. He also leaves behind his “furry older brother” Mac.

His family will hold a memorial and spreading of his ashes at a later time.
