Kolton Qualls Remembered Ahead of First Anniversary as Family Supports Bereaved Parents Through Hospital Care
Kolton Qualls died following a 35-week stillbirth in September 2025 after a previously seamless pregnancy.
The family received the devastating news that Kolton no longer had a heartbeat, and the passing was attributed to an umbilical cord accident without a clear explanation.
A donated cuddle cot allowed the family to spend two and a half precious days with Kolton, giving relatives time to meet, hold, and say goodbye to the baby they could not bring home.
As September 20 approaches, Kolton’s family hopes to honor the child’s memory by helping local hospitals provide other grieving families with similar time for loving farewells.
Kolton’s brief life continues to inspire compassion, kindness, and support for families navigating profound loss.
