Enrique Jose Sedano Junior, better known by loved ones as ‘E.J. and SonSon’, passed away on Sunday, September 21, 2014.
He was an extremely strong, determined child and put up a good fight until the end when he passed at OHSU/Doernbecher Children’s Hospital in Portland, Oregon after a tragic accident.
Enrique Junior was a beautiful ball of energy who could keep you on your toes and make you excited about the workout. He was loving to his whole family, protective of his cousins, outgoing to melt the heart of the world and adventurous to complete the whole package we knew as EJ. His beautiful, big brown eyes told stories and his drive and emotion taught us all more than his short time should have allowed. He was such a smart and in tuned child, his voice and thoughts could always be heard.
He is survived by his parents, Charlotte Ike and Enrique Sedano; a sister, Alexandrea; maternal grandparents Ronda Metcalf and Renaldo Minjarez; and fraternal grandparents, Adrienne and Daniel Vielle and Samuel Sedano; great grandmother, Phyllis Enick; as well as a numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. E.J. was preceded in death by his great grandfather, Charles Calflooking Sr.; his uncle, Robby Kublic; cousin, Keemani Conklin; great grandmother, Charlotte Quinelle; great grandfather Ricardo Minjarez; and great-great grandmother, Gertrude Perry.
Although we will miss him every day, he will forever remain in our hearts.
