McCoix Douglas Capaul, Four months
Coeur d'Alene Press | UPDATED 4 years, 2 months AGO
Our precious little heart warrior, McCoix Douglas Capaul, was born on July 1, 2020 and passed away on Nov. 11, 2020, at Sacred Heart Medical Center in Spokane, Wash.
McCoix was born with a congenital heart defect called hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS). He came into this world ready to take on the challenge that lay in front of him. He fought a huge fight in his short time here on earth and eventually passed into the arms of Jesus.
McCoix was in the hospital all but 10 days of his life, and it was amazing to see the bond that was being created between him and his older brother, Maddux. During the four months he was here, he loved to have his music playing, being talked to, his binkie, and most importantly, being held. He loved everyone at the hospital and we know that he was given that love back. He definitely knew how to get his way when it came to the PICU team at Sacred Heart. He was loved by all who met him and he will be greatly missed. He will always be Maddux’s “baby Coix.” Fly high my little warrior.
McCoix is the son of Alex and Heidi Capaul and the little brother to Maddux Capaul, all of Coeur d’Alene.
Paternal grandparents are Ken and Toni Capaul of Coeur d’Alene. Maternal grandparents are Doug and Patty English and his aunt is Heather Mills of Lewiston, Idaho. Great-grandparents are Dixie and Tom Reid and great-grandmother is Marge Capaul, all of Coeur d’Alene. He also has many aunts, uncles and cousins. He is preceded in death by his uncle, Adam Capaul; and great aunts, uncles and great-grandparents.
Viewing will be held from 4 to 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 17, 2020, at Yates Funeral Home – Coeur d’Alene Chapel, with rosary to start at 4:30 p.m. Funeral Mass will be held at 11 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 18, 2020, at St. Thomas Catholic Church, 919 E. Indiana Ave., Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.
