Obituary of Lucifer Gordon Kovats
It is with profound sadness to announce the passing of Lucifer Gordon Kovats who passed peacefully in his parents arms on Wednesday, September 6, 2023 at the London Health Science Centre - Victoria Campus. Even though Lucifer's time on earth was brief, he was deeply loved and brought an immeasurable amount of joy to those around him.
Lucifer will be missed by his siblings Rylee, Brayden, Katelynn, Shelby, Gabriella and Rose.
He will be united with his brother Austin, where they will watch over their family during this difficult time.
"How very quietly you tiptoed into our world, silently, only a moment you stayed. But what an imprint your footprints have left upon our hearts." ~ Dorothy Ferguson
Donations made in memory of Lucifer to the Children Health Foundation would be appreciated by the family.

Little Snowdrop
The world may never notice
If a snowdrop doesn't bloom,
Or even pause to wonder
If the petals fall too soon.
But every life that ever forms,
Or ever comes to be,
Touches the world in some small way
For all eternity.
The little one we longed for
Was swiftly here and gone.
But the love that was then planted
Is a light that still shines on.
And though our arms are empty,
Our hearts know what to do.
Every beating of our hearts
Says that we love you.
