A King of the LA Kings, Rest in Paradise Aydain Dammer
- Updated: May 2, 2017
We received some very sad news yesterday, as we learned of the passing of 6-year-old, LA Kings’ fan Aydain Dammer, after a long on and off again, 3 year battle, (half his life), against cancer. Though he lived a short life, Aydain’s big heart and caring personality will never be forgotten by those that loved him, knew him, or by those of us that followed and supported him on-line during this entire ordeal. He never faltered in his battle against stage 4 recurent CNS Neuroblastoma, becoming an inspiration to all of us, with his examples of will power, strength and courage. Aydain never stopped fighting, and he gave that battle everything that he possibly had, right to the very end. He’s been called Aydain the Brave, or even Aydain the Fighter and he most definitely was both of those things, but I think there is even a more fitting title for this young warrior, and that is … Aydain the King.
A die-hard Kings fan, meeting the Kings players was one of Aydain’s last 3 wishes, and that wish was granted by the Los Angeles Kings organization, who happily introduced Aydain to the Kings players and provided him to be able to meet, hang out, play, talk to and watch his idols. The experience was an amazing one for the young super fan as he also got to ride on the Zamboni, eat like royalty and playfully ham it up in front of cameras for Fox Sports West.
For those of you who would like to attend Aydain’s “Celebration of Life,” here is the info:
Rest in paradise Aydain, as you cheer on our Kings from the sky. Your smile and bravery will be remembered forever, and be an inspiration to all us for the rest of our days. You were one of us as part of the LA Kings family and always will be, so “Go Kings Go” to you Aydain, our angel and little brother and God bless. Aydain the King Forever. The bravest and toughest 6-year-old boy I have ever encountered.
On behalf of CaliSports News, as well as LA Kings Road Talk Radio and MakeWayForTheKings,net, we send our condolences and deepest sympathies to Aydain’s parents, Christie and David Dammer and family.
Here is Aydain’s life story, from a post from last January on facebook, and also the address of the Love Song Foundation.
AYDAIN'S BIRTHDAY BASH – WISH GRANTED
FOREVER LOVED SESSION: WISH GRANTED! UPDATE ON SWEET 6 YEAR OLD AYDAIN DAMMER BATTLING NEUROBLASTOMAOn October 5th, 2016, Christie and David Dammer's world was turned upside down. That was the day that they found out their precious son, Aydain, had relapsed. His frightened parents were reliving the nightmare of their child only having a maximum of 6 months to live. When I got the call that afternoon, I will never forget Christie's voice. She sounded defeated and just needed a friend. I assured her that Love Song would be with them to fight this journey. Together we made a plan and then we spoke about his wishes.Aydain has since been granted three wishes courtesy of Love Song. He enjoyed the beaches of Carlsbad California, met the LA Kings Hockey team and had an enormous birthday bash! It was, definitely, one for the books! This wish was unique given the fact it was the first wish we opened up to the entire Community! They played such a huge roll in making it spectacular. With over 500 people in attendance… It made for the perfect afternoon!Here is a sneak peek into that special day. (Click the HD button on your screen or phone for a clear picture)Please pray for this young boy. We were told yesterday that not only has the cancer spread more rapidly than anticipated, but it has migrated outside of the brain and skull. Despite chemo and the homeopathic treatments they have utilized the disease has spread to his spine, pelvis, arms and legs. WE ARE PRAYING VIGOROUSLY FOR A MIRACLE. Thank you to everyone that played a part in granting these wishes! We, here at Love Song, could not continue to document and bless these people across the globe without you!
