Arlie Vester “Baby Arlo” Spain, V passed from this life Friday, January 10, 2025, in Webster.
Baby Arlo, born October 26, 2024, weighing 8 lb. 8 oz. and measuring 21 inches long, was a perfect blessing to his family. Though his time on earth was brief, he brought so much joy and love to everyone who met him. A true daddy’s boy, his head turned and ears perked when he heard him calling. Baby Arlo loved to smile at his mommy, filling her heart with such delight. He had a knack for watching TV like an old man, contentedly vibrating in his favorite chair. His talkative babbles to his mommy were the sweetest conversations, as his personality began to shine through in every moment. If one word could describe him, it would be “happiness.”
