One of my favorite memories with Sawyer Updike was when the big freeze happened in Texas. The day the freeze started it was my birthday and that night Sawyer and I had spent the night at Conner Ulsh’s house. At around 1am we checked the whether because it was freezing inside as well as out. When we opened our phones we saw that it was supposedly snowing, so we went outside to see. It was amazing to go outside at 1am on my birthday and for it to be snowing. We were out there so long playing in the snow that our hair started to get moist from fallen snowflakes and then freeze making our hair feel like it had hair gel in it. The next morning we decided to go meet up with Wyatt Deluca and Sam post, but the roads were iced so we couldn’t drive, so we walked instead. On the way we found multiple patches of ice where we tried to ice skate across, where we all ended up falling and getting soaking wet. We later went to my house and I wanted to make fried rice, but Sawyer insisted that he make it. We were all huddled around the grill to keep us warm while I have Sawyer step by step instructions on how to make fried rice, since at this point he had never made it before. My mom had picked up an ice cream cake for desert the day before, but since everyone’s power was out the freezer was warming up, so she decided to put the cake outside in the snow to keep it cold, which honestly worked. We then went back to Conner’s to see if he might have had his power back on, but we were out of luck. Later that night Grace Powell and Ashlyn McKinney came over and we were all huddled together in my room with at least 7 blankets trying to keep each other warm. West played go fish until we got tired and then watched avatar to finish the night. That whole well school had gotten canceled and the few of us hung out every day trying to find things to do since none of us had consistent power, due to the rolling blackouts. Although it was a lot of cold nights and that there was almost nothing to do during that week, it was one of the most fun birthday experiences I have ever had and I am glad that I got to spend it with Sawyer.

Dear Sheri and Family,
I can only imagine the immense pain you must be going through, and no words can fully capture it.
May the fond memories you shared with Sawyer become a source of comfort, gradually easing the pain you're feeling.
"In parting, you don't have to let go, it's another way of holding on."
Warm regards,
Pablo and Joanca

My family and I have known Sawyer his entire life and shared many moments with him. We have many memories such as birthday parties, swimming in his pool, Christmas parties, a cruise, flag, football games, and high school football games to name a few. He was so quiet sometimes, but we loved his sweet, shy smile.

We so fondly remember the arrival of this beautiful blond boy in Mauritius, full of energy and strength. He slotted right in between our own daughters, Sabine and Cecile. As Sawyer grew in stature, his gentleness was core to his nature. We appreciate how you, Sheri and LJ, have always encouraged and loved your boys so well. Sawyer knew this love every day of his life. May you and Hart now be more keenly aware than ever of your heavenly Father's love for YOU, even through all of the pain. We love you and stand by you for the years to come.

Sawyer was like one my own. Our boys grew up together sharing a backyard fence. Over the years there were many shared meals, fishing trips, overnight stays, vacations, birthdays, baseball, football and card games, and much, much more. During many of our vacations we would take fishing trips where Sawyer always seemed to catch the biggest fish. I will truly miss his shy smiles and shrugs. He was one of a kind. Show em how to catch the big ones in heaven, Sawyer! RIP beautiful boy.

2023. A proud moment with all the homecoming trimmings of the gigantic mum, honouring Sawyer with Sheri and LJ on the field and a great game. So special to see Sawyer interact with his team mates and visibly enjoying the game.

2007, I think we did Thanksgiving together. Boys with abundant energy playing in the bouncy castles and eating ice cream.

Sawyer, Hart and Marc tired from a trip to the giant turtles on Mauritius.
Happy memories of the boys playing together. Hart and Marc splashing in the pool. Celebrating Marc's birthday. Sawyer observing it all with his wise eyes.

Dearest Sheri and Family,
I cannot imagine the pain all of you are going through. No words can ease it.
I pray that you are all guided and given strength; and that Sawyer's soul is at peace.
May you cherish the good moments you had with him and these will be at the forefront of your minds and in your hearts, replacing the pain, soon.

Sawyer was in my homeroom in 5th grade. He was funny, kind, and oh so smart! He was also tall and could reach things for me! I really enjoyed him and that class of 5th graders. These are just a few of the memories we made that year.

I'll always remember how happy Sheri looked when "Thing 1 and Thing 2" were in the house. Sawyer was quite the young man. I was so impressed when Sheri shared the photos of the giant fish he could pull in.
