Due to his medical condition, Bentley never made it home from the hospital, but this didn’t stop him from lighting up his family’s life. His parents will always cherish the three months they had singing and reading to him, changing him, and lying beside him. And they will always be grateful for the care he was given, especially from his favorite nurse, Emily. He is survived by his parents, Kristina Kaye McEachen and Daniel Jay Heykoop; his brother, Daniel James Heykoop; his grandparents, Barbara Heykoop and Bonita and James McEachen; his great-grandma, Jean Anderson; his aunts/uncle, Melissa McEachen, Robert and Katie McEachen; cousins, Tiffany McEachen, Evelyn McEachen, Lydia McEachen, Grant McEachen, Norah McEachen, Chastity Ivy, CeCe Ivy and Nicole Ivy; many great aunts, uncles, and second cousins.
