Kirby
Kirby D. Hostetler
Kirby Dakota Hostetler, precious baby son of Melton and Shayla Hostetler, was born on July 11, 2017, at Women’s and Children’s Hospital in Columbia, MO.
Baby Kirby was born with various medical conditions. He was born without a spleen and had cardiology vena cava, partial situs inversus, and pulmonary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD).
Kirby was a happy baby, but he needed extra and special care, which was lovingly given to him by his parents.
He passed away with a peaceful smile on his face in his mother’s arms on December 9, 2017, at the age of four months and twenty eight days old from complications of his medical conditions.
He leaves to mourn his departure his sorrowing parents and one brother, Kasen, who is almost two years old; maternal grandparents, Chris and Rosella Hostetler of Sedalia, MO; paternal grandparents, Marion and Alice Hostetler of Otterville, MO; maternal great-grandparents, Orval and Ruby Kempf of Hughesville, MO; paternal great-grandmother, Lena Hostetler of Otterville, MO; paternal great-grandparents, Eugene and Luella Kropf of Nelson, MO; seven uncles; eleven aunts; and nine cousins.
Preceding him in death are his maternal great-grandparents, Paul and Orpha Hostetler, and paternal great-grandfather, Lester Hostetler.
Kirby was born the day after his great-grandpa Lester’s funeral. It is comforting to think of them as being together so soon.
Although it is a great shock and it breaks our hearts to say good-bye to our precious baby boy, we find comfort in knowing he is safe in the arms of Jesus and is enjoying good health. We want to say, “Thy will be done,” and look forward to being reunited in heaven.
The family expresses a heartfelt thank-you for the acts of kindness shown to us, the prayers, and the expressions of sympathy during this time of sorrow.
Funeral services will be held at 1:30 p.m. Monday, December 11, 2017 at Olive Hill A.M. Church with Paul Hostetler Jr., Rodney Knox, and Roy Kropf officiating.
Casket bearers will be Melton Hostetler, Grant Hostetler, Sherman Hostetler, Regan Hostetler, and Dane Hostetler.
Burial will be in the Olive Hill A.M. Cemetery following services.
Visitation will be from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. Sunday, December 10, at the church school.
Arrangements are in the care of Heckart Funeral Home.
