He was born on October 4, 2010 in Warsaw, Indiana to Keri Cook and Colton Cretcher.

Gidieon was known by his family and friends to be a sharp, smart little boy, and an endless explorer.  He loved Legos, Pokemon, his dirt bike and spending endless hours on his tablet.  He liked to play with his friends and sisters, he especially loved spending time outdoors with his Dad and he wasn’t shy about being his “Momma’s boy”.  Gidieon was the 2016 Cutie King at the North Webster Mermaid Festival, loved football, was a Young Tiger and was excited to be entering the third grade at Harrison Elementary School in Warsaw.  He very much enjoyed going to church with his family at New Life Christian Church and World Outreach in Warsaw.  He made a lasting and unforgettable impression on everyone he crossed paths with.  He will be dearly missed and forever remembered as a beautiful boy with a beautiful soul.  Although his life was very short, Gidieon brought joy to his family that will last forever.
