He was a heart transplant survivor and “showed everyone that knew about him the power of prayer and faith,” said his mother, Ashley. “He could tell a story with his big brown eyes. He was a special little boy.”
Boston is survived by his parents, Garrett and Ashley; his sisters, Brooklyn and London, his paternal grandparents, Clarke and Sherry Reed and Gail Sutherland; his maternal grandparents, Billy and Lourie Sanders;his great grandparents, Florence Reed and Dan and Janice Sutherland and many aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Celebration services will take place at Real Life Christian Church in Chesapeake, VA on Friday June 26, 2015, 4:00pm-7:00pm with service starting at 7:00pm. All are invited.

Your in our prayers and in our hearts and we love you all dearly
Ashley, Garrett and families, what an inspiration Boston was to each and ever one of us who knew him or knew and followed his story. First thing I did every morning was check to see if there was any news about Boston. There are no words to even begin to tell how our hearts break for each and every one of you. I know it’s of little comfort to tell you he isn’t suffering but, that doesn’t stop the hurt, pain and emptiness you’re feeling now. Just know that someday we will see the bigger picture and you will once again hold you sweet baby. Stay strong and keep your faith, it had brought you this far and it will bring you through this. Love and prayers from friends in Jonesborough,T.
