The Sweet, Independent Spirit of Otis

“A sweet boy who loved fresh air and watching the birds from the window. He loved us on his terms.”

Otis was a gentle, independent soul who knew what he liked and shared his love in the way that felt right to him. His affection may have been on his own terms, but that only made the moments he chose to give it even more meaningful.

He found contentment in the simple things - feeling fresh air and watching the birds from his favorite place by the window. Even as his body grew tired, Otis remained very much himself: aware, present, and surrounded by the people who understood and loved him.

His family gave him the freedom to be exactly who he was throughout his life, and when his body could no longer keep up with his spirit, they gave him a peaceful and compassionate goodbye. Otis was deeply loved, and his quiet companionship, sweet nature, and unmistakably individual way of moving through the world will be dearly missed.
