Heidi Fudim,
I'm not sure if you will receive this, and I don't know you, but my family got a glimpse of you and your sweet son today. You see, my husband was out on a work assignment on November 13th on the high plains of Wyoming with the snow-capped Uinta Mountains in the background, a place called Piedmont where the LDS pioneers operated charcoal kilns. He came across a large bundle of balloons with a paper bag attached to them. The note you wrote deeply touched him, and he shared it with me and our two married daughters and their spouses. We cried for you, and I immediately got on my knees and prayed for your broken momma heart. We are all carrying you in our hearts today and pray for you to feel the love of our Heavenly Father for you and your precious son. We could see that you were sending a message to your son on his birthday, and I can tell you from experience that he received it, and that he is close; he loves you very much.
Please accept our heartfelt condolences and know that you are not alone.
Sincerely,
The Gregg and Nicole Moretti family

I just recently learned of Gideons passing and was so saddened. I was Gideons math teacher at Spanish Fork Junior High when he was in 8th grade. What a pleasure he was to have in class. He worked hard and was an example to many peers what it looked like to be kind, respectful, fun, and polite. He always greeted me with a smile and engaged in personal conversations with me. I could tell Gideon was a special young man. Having lost a child myself, I understand the importance of hearing stories about our loved ones. I will always have a special place in my heart for Gideon. Sending your family much love and prayers.

Last year I just moved to Utah from Wisconsin and it was kinda rough. Luckily I had the chance to join a rec SF baseball team the week I moved here. The very first kids I met in utah who welcomed me we’re on the team and I’ll never forget how kindly Gideon and the rest of them treated me in a difficult time. I’m saddened to hear of his passing and reflect on how much he helped me and impacted my life in a positive way. Thank you Gideon.

Dear Heidi and Jonathan...Kristy told us about your dear Gideon. Our hearts are so saddened and we, too, grieve the loss of your beloved son. We know our Heavenly Father will keep you in His care and we hope the love and support of your family and friends will bring you comfort. I (Geri) watched Gideon's funeral and heard what a special fellow Gideon was. He will surely be remembered by all those who knew and loved him. Our sympathy and love go out to you and your family. Geri and Mark

The Fudim's use to live by our family and Gideon went to Elementary School and High School with my son Kason. They were on the same soccer team together every year when they were younger and went to scouts together. Gideon was such a sweet kid and was always so kind and helpful to involve Kason in these activities. Even now, they had English together in High School and Kason said he is missed! All my condolences, love and prayers to the Fudim family. Wishing you all the peace and comfort of His loving arms around you as you mourn the loss of your sweet son and brother now and in the future.

Here is a photo of Gideon on a 5th grade fieldtrip at JA City where he was the CEO of Zions Bank. Our family is here to mourn with you.

Heidi…Gideon will finally have someone that is just as goofy to crack him up …Neal has him now so you know he will keep laughing until you can see him again! I love you guys more than words can say and my heart is broken for you…there are no words! The Lammi’s love you beyond measure and we are all praying for you!

I remember when Heidi had asked if I could watch Gideon for a couple of afternoons, which I gladly did because...let's face it, that kid cracked me up. I picked Gideon up from Kindergarten, and I began driving him back to his house to pick something up before taking him to my house. All of a sudden from his carseat behind me, I hear him shout, "You're going the wrong way!" And I said, "No, I'm not," while thinking, "As if a 5-year old knows how to get to his house." He kept insisting that I was going the wrong way, and eventually I realized he was right! When I finally admitted that he was right and I was wrong, he just started laughing and making fun of the fact that he knew how to get home and I didn't.
As 5-year old Gideon was mocking me and just cracking himself up, it made me laugh to see that without a doubt he was Jonathan's mini me--inside and out.

i became pretty close to gideon when he was 11 years old. he was my favorite! whenever i would hang out with aliya, sweet gid would come and want to hangout with us, no matter what we were doing. we liked to tease him because he had a little crush on me… i thought it was the cutest thing. he seriously gave the best hugs! he had the purest of hearts, and i was so lucky to be around him the times that i was. he was everyone’s angel here, and now he gets to be a perfect angel up in heaven!
love you sweet boy! see you again someday<3

I have tried so many times and I just can't find the words. My chest aches for the loss your family must be feeling. From one parent to another you are living all of our worst nightmares. I hope you are finding comfort in all the love and good vibes being sent your way from my family. I wish there was more I could do or say to bring you peace, but I hope you know we love your family so much! Gideon will be missed every day in our house!! May peace be with you today and always!
