He was an inquisitive child who was curious to know the world around him. Like many children he enjoyed playing, laughing, and watching his favorite movie "Toy Story." Many memories were made while hiking the many trails of the Concord area and beyond, and it's on one of these trails that he acquired the nickname "Dragonfly." Sadly, on March 11, 2001 Kalahan passed away in his sleep of what was later categorized as Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood (SUDC). Similar to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), SUDC is a diagnosis of exclusion which is determined only after all known medical causes have been ruled out. It occurs in children 12 months and older with the cause of death remaining unknown." Kraig Emery (Kalahan's father) All online registration fees will be donated to The SUDC Foundation.
