Shaun Peter Steyaert, 23 months, of Berryville, Virginia, joined his sister, Sarah, in Heaven on May 11, 2013.  Our Champion passed peacefully in the arms of his parents in the PICU at UVA Medical Center after fighting hard against the incurable Mitochondrial DNA Depletion Syndrome.

He was the cherished son of Peter & Denise Steyaert, beloved brother to Stephen and Scottie, and was adored by all who knew him.  He will be greatly missed by his family and friends. Shaun enjoyed music and singing, and gave us a lifetime of unconditional love during his short time on earth. More about Shaun's Story can be found at: http://shaunsteyaert.blogspot.com
