Edwin Hasiel Ochoa, of Hallettsville, Texas, was granted his angel wings on Thursday, June 8, 2017, at the age of 7. When he went to be to be with Jesus he was surrounded by his family and friends.

Edwin was born September 19, 2009 in Houston, Texas to Rosa Molina and Hector Ochoa. The family moved to Mississippi where they lived until Edwin was two years old. In 2011, he and his parents, along with his older sister, relocated to Hallettsville. He attended Hallettsville Head Start in 2014 and began school at Hallettsville Elementary. He completed first grade in May 2017.

Edwin enjoyed life to the fullest. He loved dinosaurs, riding his bicycle, playing outside with his sister and friends; he also enjoyed playing soccer and cheering on his favorite soccer team ¨Tigres¨ [UANL]. Edwin was also known for his ¨green thumb,¨ whatever Edwin planted flourished. At age 5, Edwin planted pumpkin seeds and carefully cared for them throughout the winter. He would cover them at night to protect them from the frost and harvested a big pumpkin that May. He loved planting seeds and watching them grow with pride. We will see and feel Edwins' presence in the aroma and color of the flowers.
