Roman Dean Augustus Palmer
June 14, 2016
Roman Dean Augustus Palmer became an angel of Heaven on Tuesday, June 14, 2016. Roman was born on April 15, 2016 to Travis and Ashlee Palmer.
Roman was a Heart Warrior, he was born with severe Ebstein’s Anomaly. He was a strong courageous boy having had gone through 2 open heart surgeries at 5 & 6 days old and 5 procedures throughout his time here. Bringing Roman home was the happiest day in his family’s life. He brought so much joy to everyone and he loved being outdoors. But our loss upon this earth, was surely Heaven’s gain and though his heart no longer beats, his memory lives within.
Those left behind to cherish his memory, are his mommy and daddy; his big brother, Colt; grandparents, Tim Palmer, Denny Palmer, Mark (Angela) Haley, and Angela Kronick, Misty (Brian) Haley; aunts & uncles, Jessi, Ariel, Brandi, Michaela, Jared, Blake, and Brilen; many great-grandparents; and a host of other loving family and friends.
He will be held in Heaven by his papa, Randy; great-grandpa, Larry; nana, Millie; great-grandma, Marilyn; great-grandparents, Elva Lee & Raymond; great-grandpa, Andreas; and great-grandpa, Jack.
Family would like to give a special thank you to Dr. Thomas Becker, Dr. Mo Syed, Dr. David Hockmuth, and all nurses that helped take care of our son during this difficult time.
Family will greet friends from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m., Sunday, June 19, 2016 at Hamilton’s Funeral Home, 605 Lyon Street in Des Moines. Funeral service will be held at 2:30 p.m., Monday, June 20th also at the funeral home.

I Am So Sorry For Your Loss. It turns your world upside down. I Am sure Roman is flying high and watching over all of your family. Roman and Leah were so close in age and both had CHDs.. both born in April and passed away in June. I hope our babies find there way to each other and become heart warrior friends.
I will continue to pray for you and your family as I am going through the same hurt and pain as you are.

My sweet precious nephew, aunt Jess loves you so much. You were the most beautiful baby I've seen, such big beautiful eyes. You were a fighter, you brought so much joy to so many people's lives in just the short amount of time you were here. You have also brought people closer together. I loved seeing you look so happy outside, seeing you smile and move around when I would give you kisses. Your big brother loves you so much.
Travis and Ashlee, I can't image what you are going through. I would think this is the most painful thing to deal with. I don't want to say I'm sorry because that gets annoying; I'm not going to ask what I can do because I know you just want your little boy back. I will tell you that I am here for you guys and I'd do anything for you, you already know this though, and I am praying for you. I pray God's peace be with you every step of the way, that His light will shine on you and you will feel His love. I love you guys more than you know I think, I think so highly of both of you. You are both so strong and are amazing parents. I love you guys so much!
Roman Dean Augustus Palmer, I will see you again someday, rest in peace heart warrior.

Roman was a beautiful little guy that fought a hard battle. Now he doesn't have to fight anymore. With getting his wings to fly he also got a new heart to go with it. I am praying for you Ashlee and Travis and the rest of the family thru this time. I love guys.

Roman was such a beautiful baby and a great warrior. I can only imagine what he is doing in Heaven with God and Jesus. I am sure Grampa Jack was the first one to greet him. Ashlee and Travis you are the best parents and I grieve with you. God bless you and Colt. Love you.

I cant begin to imagine the pain you two are going through, he was a very strong baby, he put up a fight. I wish I couldve met him. Ashlee, you are my little cousin and I was very close to you in your younger years, you have grown up to be such a good mommy to your boys. And you are incredibly strong, I admire you for that. Your precious baby will no longer be suffering nor be in pain, he is now your Guardian Angel. Baby Roman will be looking down on you, Travis, and Colt, and he will be with you everyday. I love you cousin and so sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry for your loss. He was such a little fighter. I guess God needed a little fighter like him up in heaven to watch over all of you. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
