Carson Hess

“Dearest Carson, please know that our greatest blessing was to have been chosen as your parents.” Born at 3:26 p.m. on Monday, April 18, 2011, our little angel Carson passed away peacefully in the loving arms of his parents and was called home to Jesus on April 27, 2011. During his incredible yet brief time on Earth, he impacted the lives of many and was truly a gift from God to those who knew him. Carson was blessed to have been cared for by his family as well as outstanding doctors and nurses in the neonatology intensive care unit at the University of Kansas Hospital. He exhibited an extraordinary amount of strength and courage over his lifetime and he chose to send on those blessings to his loved ones from Heaven, most especially his brothers during their hospitalization. He is survived by his parents Brian and Shirlene (Flory) Hess and triplet brothers Quinlan and Barrett Hess; maternal grandparents Gary Flory, Susan Flory, paternal grandparents David and Sharon Hess; uncle Brandon Hess; Aunt Christina Hess; cousins Lauren and Anna Hess; numerous uncles, aunts and cousins; as well as countless loved ones. Services will be 10:00 a.m. Friday, August 12, 2011 at Speaks Suburban Chapel, 18020 E. 39th St., Independence, MO 64055. Burial in Mound Grove Cemetery.
