Mattias James Edwards, the son of two Paramedics, was a healthy 12-month-old little boy who passed away from a choking incident. On the morning of September 12, 2022, little Mattie J was eating dry cereal with his babysitter when he became choked. The babysitter was unable to relieve the obstruction and Mattie J stopped breathing. After heroic efforts by local EMS he was pronounced dead at Niswonger Children's Hospital later that morning. It is the hope of Mattie J's parents that through education and community outreach we can prevent as many of these early childhood deaths as possible.
