Emmanuel age 3, died on July 5, 2023 at Cook Children's Medical Center in Fort Worth, Texas after succumbing to injuries from a car accident. Emmanuel was born on June 17, 2020 to parents Michael and Loreen Tegland. He was an answer to prayers and they awaited his birth with joyful expectation. A bright, handsome, friendly, lively, and happy little guy, Emmanuel does not go unnoticed. He naturally steals smiles from everyone he passes by with his cuteness, happiness, and friendliness.

Emmanuel is survived by his parents, and brothers Isaac and Ethan. Emmanuel is loved by his two grandmothers, two great grandmothers, one great grandfather, his uncles, aunts, and cousins. We look forward to the day when we will walk with him again.

The family wishes to sincerely thank everyone for their support and love during this difficult time.
