Judson Drake Levasheff
December 24 2004 - November 7 2007
Age: 2 years old
In May 2007, Judson began stumbling - he was 29 months old. Judson suddenly began deteriorating. In just five months, Judson was completely paralyzed, blind, and mute. Eventually, it was discovered that Judson had a genetic disease called Krabbe Leukodystrophy. Even through all the troubles Judson's condition caused him, he stayed brave and hopeful.
Once, his mother began crying when she was struggling to put shoes onto his stiff feet. Judson assured her that it was okay, and then he began singing "Great is Thy Faithfulness". As the disease progressed, Judson lost the ability to move his hands and arms. He also couldn't speak. He was in a lot of pain, and very confused, not to mention frustrated. After 6 months of suffering, Judson passed away due to the condition.
