About Me

Bakersfield, CA, United States
Hans was a busy, happy, sweet and fearless three year old when he was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma. He fought his disease like a "gladiator" for nearly 6 years. Hans was an animal lover to his core. He was 'guarded' at home by his three cats, Black, Orange and Cotton. He also had his Golden Retriever, Honey, to keep him company. Hans enjoyed swimming, biking, gardening, grilling (he had his very own grill!), horseback riding, playing video games, building Legos, and flipping between Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network and Animal Planet. Hans loved all members of his family and he was a loyal friend. He had to go through a lot of treatment in his life. But Hans powered through it. His attitude was let's get this done! His motivation was always to get back home, to his family, pets, favorite foods and pool.

Worth Posting Once Again, Nathan and Hans in the News


Hi guys-
Just wanted to repost this picture from the Houston Chronicle from a couple of months ago. The top picture is Nathan Cosby and the bottom picture, of course, is Hans. Nathan passed away at 5:45 am this morning.
Listen, as Lara posted earlier, Nathan was a star athelete and a star human being. Nathan wrestled up a grade from 8th to 9th grade and placed 3rd in the state of Oklahoma. When you think of future Olympians, you think of Nathan....Seriously. He was a super awesome athelete. We had the privilage of living with Nathan for a month at Texas Childrens Hospital. To watch him do his physical therapy, through a lot of pain, was inspiring. He was one of those skinny, lithe bodies that exuded strength. I can only imagine him moving and dominating on the mat.
Love you Nathan.
Kevin, Lara, Elle, Hans

I can only imagine the plans that God has for Nathan--to be able to do all the physical things he loves to do! Sending prayers for Nathan's family and for little Serenity...
Glad that you guys had a great time in Chicago and missed out on our lovely weather! =)
