Until We Meet Again

On May 4, 2009, the union of Quantis and Andrea Wiggins was blessed with the birth of their beautiful son, Kyle Quantis Wiggins.

Kyle was given many nicknames throughout his life – many of which seemed to reflect his weight at the time (he went from being a String Bean to a Chubby Chaser). Kyle was affectionately known by his Mom and many others as just “Buddy”. Kyle spent his entire life in the hospital, but he picked up many friends along the way. He always seemed to have a way with the ladies and spent majority of his time with a few of his favorite nurses: Karen, Sung, Lori, Susan, Angela, Cheryl and Nicole.

Kyle’s short life was always filled with excitement. He managed to do things that many of us have never done, including taking a helicopter ride over the city of Chicago on his way from Hinsdale Hospital to Comer Children’s Hospital. Kyle enjoyed spending the day with his Mom and the late nights with his Dad. He never complained when his Dad started snoring during their nap time or when Nikki sang to him when she visited. He just enjoyed every day of his life and brought joy to so many around him.

From birth, Kyle was known as a fighter. He beat many odds and overcame many obstacles. After 8 months of fighting, God decided that it was time for the champ to retire. On the morning of January 13, 2010, the angels came to get Kyle and take him to heaven, where he joined his brother Lucas. Although Kyle celebrated meeting his big brother and Grandmother Geneva who preceded him in death, he left many behind to cherish his memory.

The Wiggins family would like to gratefully acknowledge all of the prayers, acts of kindness and support shown throughout Kyle’s life and during the difficult time of his passing.
