With a mix of profound joy and sadness, we share news of the birth of twins to Tyneka Harris Coronado, associate director in Information Services, and her husband, David, on May 2, three months before their due date, followed by the eventual loss of their son, Daniel, eight days later.
Daniel Juan Ricardo Coronado was born on May 2, 2024, one minute after his twin sister, Daniella Vira Aliean Coronado. Daniel then passed peacefully in the arms of his loving parents due to a lung infection on May 10, 2024, at the Renée Schine Crown Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of Prentice Women’s Hospital in Chicago.
Daniel’s life was a profound gift to his parents, family, and loved ones and it has changed them forever. He leaves to cherish his memory Tyneka and David and seven siblings, Sonia, Sophia, Zoe, Zyana, Mateo, Micah and Daniel’s twin sister, Daniella, as well as his grandparents, great grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and a host of other relatives.
