Kian I. McDonald

Kian Iian McDonald, 5 months, was called before his time at SJRMC on Friday, November 21, 2014. Kian was born on June 5, 2014, 42 minutes after his twin brother, Ori, who was born the day before, to Kimberly Stahle and Brandon McDonald, in Albuquerque, NM.
For the short time, Kian was here, he would brighten any room or place with his bright blue eyes, contagious laugh, and his mother's smile that would melt your heart. Kian was born with a clubfoot, while he had his casts, boots and bar it never slowed him down. Kian loved using his boots and bar to bang on floors, his crib, his mother and his brother. Kian always kicked for the ceiling but couldn't quite reach it. Kian went on his first fishing trip with his father and brother when he was 3 months old in August. Kian loved being outdoors whether it was getting firewood in the mountains, having picnics or sitting on dad's picnic table. Kian was a very happy baby always smiling and laughing. Kian always used his smile and laugh to cheer up his mom when she was down. Kian loved being playful with his brother, parents, grandparents, great grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles.
Kian is preceded in death by his grand mother Vivian Morris.
