Nolan Hawn

Nolan Wayne Hawn, the warrior son of Lucas Hawn and Taylor Southern-Hawn, was born October 11th, 2022, after just 28 weeks gestation, weighing just one pound and fourteen ounces. Nolan spent 73 days in the NICU defying the odds with every breath he took. His mother and father were by his side every single one of those days, showering him with love. Nolan spent his days being told how beautiful and strong he was, flirting with nurses, watching Clemson Tigers football games and his favorite activity of all was having dozens of books read to him by mommy and daddy. At least once a day Nolan would FaceTime his grandparents and great grandparents who promised him anything he dreamed of if he would hurry up and get out of the NICU. Nolan even had superpowers, he had the amazing ability to smile, stretch, or yawn and it would make even the worst day 9 million percent better. As the days passed Nolan grew to a whopping five pounds and four ounces and was going to be a doctor, a lawyer, a writer, or a starting pitcher for the Atlanta Braves. But God had other plans. In his 73 days on a planet, that has been difficult for even some of the strongest of humans, Nolan knew nothing of silly arguments over a political party or senseless wars fought by young men and women, who had nothing to do with starting them. Nolan never had to attend a school who put more emphasis on social acceptance than education. Nolan never felt the fear of walking into a classroom scared because he saw on the news that a monster had hurt kids just like him in a school where kids were just trying to get through their day. Nolan was never bullied on social media and made to feel less than anyone or anything. Nolan was an amazing bright light that will forever burn in the hearts of his family and the countless lives he touched with his story of the little boy who doctors claimed could never be conceived. Some would say he had a life we all should envy. Imagine spending every single day of your life being bathed in love and attention and being covered in the prayers of your family as well as those of complete strangers who fell in love with you, just from seeing a picture of your face. Nolan spent his 1st Christmas in heaven surrounded by his loved ones without tubes, needles, and monitors. He is healed and happy. Visitation will be held Saturday December 31, 2022, from 1pm to 3pm at New Hope Freedom Church Fellowship Hall, 107 W. Wade Hampton Blvd., Greer SC 29650 to celebrate his beautiful life. All family and friends are invited, and we ask that you wear bright colors. Bright blue for baby boys or yellow because he was our sunshine. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to March of Dimes at www.marchofdimes.org or Ronald McDonald House, 706 Grove Rd., Greenville, SC 29605.
