Xander Paul Diaz, age 2, of Litchfield, NH passed away Monday August 1, 2022 in Boston Children's Hospital, Boston, MA. He was born in Manchester, NH on November 25, 2019, a son of Denzel Diaz of Derry and Heather Allen Diaz of Litchfield. Panda, as he was affectionately known, loved dinosaurs and collecting rocks. He had music in his soul and was a fantastic dancer full of rhythm. Panda was a goofy, sweet, klutzy little boy, who brought immense happiness to everyone he met. He will also be remembered for always having a hand on what brought him the most comfort – his mom’s boob!
He is survived by his big brother, Paxton Samuel Diaz; maternal grandmother, Patty Brennick of Litchfield; paternal grandparents, Lisa and Samuel Diaz of Nashua, NH; three aunts, Nicole Allen, Jessica Allen, and Hannah Diaz; three uncles, Sam Nunn, Alex Diaz and Brian Finney; paternal great grandparents Sherry Belanger and Oscar Goodwin; and cousins Madden Vargas and Castiel Allen-Nunn.
