Our Theo (“gift from God”) was born two months prematurely on Wednesday, September 27, 2017 and, sadly, had to leave us on Saturday, March 24, 2018.   For the six months he was with us, Theo’s life touched hundreds of people and was the joy of our lives.  Theo is survived by his parents, Aaron and Callie (nee Chiroff) Schlicht. He is further survived by grandparents Mike and Gail (nee Jackson) Schlicht; grandmother Andrea (nee Mirhoseini) Chiroff; uncle Adam Schlicht (Aaron Tindall); aunt Katherine Chiroff (Brad Jansen); and other family and friends. Theo was preceded in death by his grandfather and namesake, James Theodore Chiroff, and other remembered family members. Theo was treated for a rare form of congenital heart disease (CHD) and other genetic complications by the expert, dedicated and caring staff of the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit at Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin.  The subject of a February feature on WISN Channel 12 News, Theo inspired many with his fighting spirit and big, brown eyes.  Our family is endlessly grateful for the incredible outpouring of community support. The family would also like to thank Theo’s Critical Care and Cardiac team, especially primary nurses Emily, Mai, Joel, Lisa, and Alaina as well as Theo’s physicians, including Drs. Bertrandt, Bergstrom, Handler, Hoffman, Kim, Mitchell, Niebler, Raskin, Scott, Thompson, and Wakeham. We will never forget your kindness and loving care.

A public visitation will be held on Tuesday, April 3, 2018 at Krause Funeral Home, 12401 West National Avenue, New Berlin, WI 53151 from 4:30 PM to 8:30 PM. A Catholic funeral service will be held on Wednesday, April 4, 2018 beginning at 10:30 AM. at the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist, 812 North Jackson Street, Milwaukee, WI, 53202. A private burial will be held after the mass. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Herma Heart Institute’s “Thankful for Theo” fund at Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin, 9000 West Wisconsin Avenue, PO Box 1997, MS 3050, Milwaukee, WI, 53201.

To our Theo: We love you as deep as the sea. We love you as bright as the sun. We love you as big as the world.

Callie and Aaron, I had wanted to share this at the visitation today, but words evaded the moment. I have followed your journey through your Caring Bridge posts, and in speaking with Andrea, my friend and colleague. You two have shared such hope and courage during Theo's short but powerful life. I'm awed by your love and trust and dedication to sharing Theo and all that have come to know what he's been about. I believe your courage and hope will provide peace, and hope to all. May blessing and wonderment be all about you.
