Lincoln James Podoll

Lincoln James Podoll had 9 months and 4 days to teach his mom, dad, and big sister how to love more than they ever thought possible, and he did it with flying colors. Baby Lincoln was born on May 24, 2025, to Hannah (Larson) Podoll and Zachary Podoll. He made his family so proud with how strong he fought, and we are so grateful to have had the time we did with him. Some of his favorite things were snuggling with mommy and daddy and hearing his big sister talk and sing to him. He was just too beautiful for this world and met Jesus May 28, 2025.

Lincoln is preceded in death by his great-grandparents Carol & Owen Podoll and Frank & Agnes Pister, and David and Doris Schwenck. We know they will be waiting to take him into their arms to run and play in the prairies and fields of Heaven.

Lincoln is survived by his mother and father Hannah and Zach Podoll, big sister, Harper, big brother Ralph; Papas and Gamas: Mike and Dawn Larson and Noel and Pam Podoll; Great Grandpa and Grandma Alton and Dodie Larson; Aunties and Unkies: Claire and Noah Larson and Joe and Ali Effertz; and cousin, Stella Effertz. We will never be the same after getting to love and lose our sweet Lincoln, but we take comfort in knowing our baby angel is looking down on us from Jesus’ arms and will be with us in spirit every day.

The family would like to thank the NICU staff at Children’s Mercy in Kansas City, Missouri, for their tender, loving care and support during this impossible time.
