He was an active little boy who knew nothing but love.

Whether he was pulling down his curtains, running over his puppy with his walker or spitting green beans at his mother, all he had to do was smile and his parents’ hearts would melt. Kevin “Lee” Gottshall II was only 6 1/2 months when his life ended on April 19 in the America’s Kids day-care center. Lee was an active little boy who looked just like his father. He had known nothing but love, a full belly, a dry bottom and many good times, his parents said. He was curious and enjoyed seeing new people and things, and he was always happy and laughing. Lee had six teeth and would show them to everyone who would look. “We tried to do everything for him, but he gave more happiness in his short time with us than we ever thought possible,” his parents said in a prepared statement.
