Adriel Baez Serrata, infant son of Ariel Baez Peguero and Carolyn Serrata Manzueta, passed away on Friday, Aug. 29, 2025, at WellSpan Good Samaritan Hospital.

Born on Aug. 14, 2024, at only 24 weeks of gestation alongside his twin sister, Gisselle, Adriel entered this world with a brave spirit and the support of a loving family. Facing unimaginable odds, he overcame one obstacle after another and, in his own tiny way, taught his family all they’ll ever need to know about strength, courage, and resilience. He will forever be cherished, and his memory will remain a treasured part of his family’s story.

In addition to his parents, Adriel is survived by his twin sister, Gisselle Baez Serrata; maternal grandparents, Carmen Serrata Manzueta and Silvero Serrata; paternal grandparents, Jose Ariel Baez and Anna Marie Snader; aunts, Ariela Baez Peguero and Indrina Morelia Baez Peguero; and uncle, Erick Anderson Baez Peguero. He was preceded in death by his paternal grandmother, Margarita Peguero.

Graveside service will be held at 11 a.m. on Thursday, Sept. 4, at Holy Cross Cemetery in Lebanon. Thompson Funeral Home Inc. has been entrusted with arrangements. Please share your memories with the family at Thompson Funeral Home’s online guest book at thompsonfuneralhomelebanon.com.
