Our son Gunnar passed away on 9/1/22 from complications from his most recent heart surgery. Gunnar was born with HLHS (hypoplastic left heart syndrome) but it never stopped him from being the fun loving, full of energy little boy that loved playing with his brothers Bryce and Oliver. Gunnar required multiple operations from the time he was born and was recovering nicely at home after 2 weeks in the hospital. For reasons unknown to us GOD called him home.  Gunnar turned 4 on July 29, 2022.

In honor of our son Gunnar, we have created a non-profit organization called "Play Like Gunnar". Play Like Gunnar is a way we can all honor Gunnar and the wonderful loving child he was. To keep his smile, his laugh and wonderful memories we all had in our hearts and minds.

All proceeds will be donated to the Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) in Gunnars name. CHD affects 40,000 babies each year and 1 and 4 of those 40,000 will require surgery within the first year of life. Your donations big or small will help us make a difference for all affected with CHD.

No family should ever feel the pain we have felt this past year and with each donation made its one step closer to making that possible.  

We thank each and every one of you that has donated in honor of Gunnar.  Gunnar loved everyone he met. His heart, although broken, had so much love. Gunnar will truly be missed but with this foundation his life will live on forever.

See you later Gunnar! We love and miss you dearly.
