Sunrise March 19, 2025 – Sunset May 16, 2025
With deepest sorrow and broken hearts, we announce the passing of our beloved baby boy who left this world far too soon.
Anakin came into our lives like a whisper of hope; a tiny miracle wrapped in love. Though his time with us was brief, the imprint he left on our heart is eternal. He was cradled in love from the beginning by his devoted parents, Morgan and Holden Eshkakogan, who dreamed of a lifetime of laughter, snuggles and growing memories with their precious son.
Anakin was a cherished grandson of Francine Eshkakogan, Mark Chapman, Marie Ford and Tanya Chapman and a beloved great grandson to Joseph Eshkakogan and Violet Toulouse all who eagerly awaited the joy his presence would bring into their lives. He was adored as a nephew by Tiana, Ashton, Kyanna, Dylan, Travis, Blake, Courtney and Levia and many more aunts and uncles and through his cousins Azina, Addison, Maryn and Draiden who may not have had the chance to grow alongside him, his memories will live on in the stories and love shared amongst them.
There are no words to measure the sorrow of losing a child. No time long enough to prepare for goodbye. Anakin’s tiny hands may never have held ours for long, but his spirit---pure, innocent, and radiant---will forever hold our hearts.
In the short time he was with us, Anakin taught the depth of love, the fragility of life, and the strength of family. He is now cradled in the arms of the ancestors, a star shining in the heavens above, watching over those who loved him so deeply. Though we did not get the chance to hear his laughter or see his first steps, Anakin will forever be a part of us. His name, his spirit, and the dreams we held for him will live on in our hearts and in every star filled sky.
Family and friends are invited to a wake in honour of Anakin at the New Community Hall, 5507 Star Road, Sagamok First Nation beginning at 12pm on Friday, May 23, 2025, until time of ceremony at 12pm on Monday, May 26, 2025. Burial at Sagamok Cemetery. A feast will be held following services.
In the quiet, in the tears, and in the love, we share, Anakin's presence will be felt. Though we grieve we also hold tightly to the love that surrounds us and the memory of a beautiful soul who will never be forgotten.
Rest gently, sweet Anakin. You were so loved. You always will be.
