Jeffrey Thao Nardoni

Jeffrey Thao Nardoni went to be with Jesus, Friday, January 13, 2012. Thao (Tay-o) was born to Jeff and Tiffany Nardoni on August 25, 2006. His Mommy and Daddy, sister Ava, and brother Liam will miss him so much. He has always been the start of our day, our planner, our time keeper, our helper. He certainly kept us on our toes. He was adventurous, curious, and inquisitive. He loved exploring in the woods, finding "treasures", and climbing trees. He also loved checking the weather, watching for storms, and playing with Daddy in the rain. There was not a day that he did not play dinosaurs, puppies, "come get me" and "hide and tickle" with his sister. He was our baker. He loved creating new recipes and baking for others. Just the thought and smell of sweet treats made his bright blue eyes light up. Thao also loved playing school, reading to Liam, and snuggling with his dog, Jack-Jack. When he grew up he wanted to drive an Ice Cream truck and give away ice cream to everyone, calling himself; "Thao the Nardoni" Thao leaves behind so many friends, aunts, uncles, grandparents, cousinshe loved them all and he knew exactly how much they loved him! Thao blessed us with so many beautiful memories, his laugh, his smile, his wink. His life was a 5 year adventure, for him and for us, and we can't wait to join him in his newest and greatest adventure of all.
