Baby Koa Keys Ndong passed away May 3rd, 2025 at 3:22 am at UAB hospital.

Koa is the son of Cesar Ndong and Brittany Hardman after 15 hours of labor Koa arrived May 2, 2025 at 10:07pm weighting 3lbs and 2 ounces and placed into the loving arms of his parents. He is also the little brother to Ava Hardman.

Though Koa was with his parents for a brief moment  that's all the time needed to change the lives of those he touched forever.

Our family is forever changed and grateful to have spent this brief but incredibly meaningful time with Koa.

Heartfelt thanks to the UAB Nurses Staff and NICU Team
