Baby Edward was stillborn.
His grandmother Jenny wrote the following:
It is with a heavy heart and tearful eyes that I write. I am doing this in the event I have not talked with you and I wish to share this with you. Early Saturday morning our life was blessed with the arrival of our first grandson Edward Dansie Moffitt, the perfect son of Aimee and Keith. He was pronounced deceased earlier Friday morning and with many hours of prayers and much patience of his dear mother was finally brought into the world early Saturday morning [abt 1:30 a.m.]. Our Edward was perfect in every way and we give thanks for the moments that we shared with his small body. His sweet body was tiny but beautiful weighing in at 1 pound and 11 ozs. and being 14 inches long. He had light brown hair and his mothers tiny nose and big eyes. He shared with his father long arms and BIG feet. I am writing, as calling everyone is too painful for me at this time. Because you knew of his November arrival date I thought it was better to write than bear any upcoming painful questions. I know of your love and support of our family and because of that love I felt I should share the information. Even thought we had but a few brief minutes with him I know he will be part of our family for the eternities to come. I know he is at peace and in the loving arms of our Father in Heaven. I also know that he will be in our hearts forever. He may have been small but the place he takes in our hearts will be forever huge. I would appreciate your prayers of comfort for Edward's mom and dad, Aimee and Keith, as they are suffering the great loss of this sweet boy. They both have been strong and brave but I know how much they are suffering. Your love and support through prayers will ease some of their sorrow for the present time. I thank you for the love you have shared in my life and I know that time will ease the pain. I know that our Father loves us, big or small, and that He will be there for us now and all the hard times to come. Love JennyThe doctor stated that he died of unbillical strangulation sometime Thursday, two days prior to his birth.

Rex L. Hickman, loving husband, father and grandfather, passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family, Sunday 5, June 2011.
Born April 6, 1920 in Benjamin, Utah to Charles Wesley and Lettie Ann (Mikesell), Hickman. He was the last surviving member of his parents family, returning to a joyous reunion beyond the veil with them.
He attended schools in Benjamin (elementary) and Spanish Fork (Jr. and Sr. High Schools). Boyhood days and adult life were centered around his family in Benjamin. Dad is a graduate of B.Y.U. with Bachelors in mathematics and chemistry, but World War II soon inducted him into the Army. Dad attained the rank of Corporal and was a Clerk Typist, which included being a Message Center Clerk of coded and ciphered and deciphered messages with the 95th Chemical Mortar Battalion, touring the European Theater passing through France, Belgium, and Germany from 1943 to 1945. He returned to Utah to work at Geneva Steel in Orem as a Metallurgical Engineer following an honorable discharge from the Army.
He married his childhood sweetheart, Katheryn Marjorie Stewart, November 20, 1940. They were later sealed for time and all eternity in the Salt Lake Temple. They built their own house on property purchased through estate settlement of Katheryn's family, and raised their family in Benjamin.
Dad loved outdoor sports of hunting and fishing. He spent many hours walking along the Spanish Fork, (Diamond Fork, and sixth water) rivers and picnicking with family in the mountains. Dad served in many positions in the LDS church. Teaching was his favorite position. Over the years he served on the High Council in the Palmyra Stake, and many other callings given to him. He had a love for temple work and attended often.
He is survived by his wife Katheryn Marjorie, one Daughter, Margie (Jay) Gabbitas, six sons, Dan (Sharon), Mike (Janet), Brent (Nadine), Charles (Pamela), Kevin, Merlin (Shellie), numerous grandchildren, great grandchildren, and great great grandchildren.
