Weston David Songer, age 2 ½ months, made his journey to Heaven on Tuesday, June 21, 2022 at Sanford Health NICU in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. His Memorial Service will be held at 2:00 PM on Tuesday, June 28, 2022 at First United Methodist Church in Huron. Visitation, with the family present, will be from 1:00 PM to the time of service at the church on Tuesday afternoon.

Weston David Songer, son of Cody Songer and Ashley Waagen, was born on April 7, 2022 in Kissimmee, Florida, while his mom, dad and big sister Tatum were enjoying a vacation. Weston traveled to Orlando to Nemours Children's Hospital where he enjoyed the Florida sunshine for two months, before flying across the states to Sioux Falls, where he was loved on at Sanford Children's NICU.

Weston was the sweetest and most cuddly little boy. He was the Kangaroo-athon Champ (winner of the most snuggles at Nemour's Children's Hospital.) Weston loved to have his head rubbed and get his feet tickled by his mom and dad. However, he did not like to have his nose touched! Some of his favorite books that were read to him were The Invisible String, The Smart Cookie, Shiloh and Old Yeller. His proud big sister Tatum loved to read to him. Weston loved to watch racing videos with his dad. His mom called him her "little storyteller, talking to us with his eyebrows and facial expressions."

Weston will be missed by his parents, Cody and Ashley of Huron; proud big sisters Tatum and Carlie Songer, and proud big brother Nolan Songer; Nana Teri Waagen and Grandpa David Waagen of Huron, Grandma Ruthie Songer and Papa Duane Songer of Huron; Uncle Joshua David (Sam Coats) Waagen of Huron, Auntie Tyanna "Ty-Ty" Wachter of Sioux Falls; Aunt Belinda (Jay Winter) Songer and their daughter and cousin Luann Winter of Huron; Uncles Andrew, Jace, Elijah, and Kaden Songer of Huron; "Uncle" Dalton Songer of Huron; and several great-aunts and uncles, and cousins.

Greeting Weston in Heaven are his great-grandparents, Joan and Gordon Waagen, Betty and Donald Meyers, William Wooledge, Sr., Eunice Wooledge, Florence Wooledge Patrick, Melvin Songer, and Rose Songer; and his cousin Wade Waagen.

The family wishes to thank Sanford Children's NICU and Nemour's Children's Hospital for all the wonderful, loving, tender care they provided the family during the past two and half months. Their kindness will never be forgotten.
