The two Syrian smugglers who offered to take them across the sea were sentenced to four years and two months in prison each by a Turkish court in May.
His photo was published worldwide and sparked universal anger at the circumstances that led to his unnecessary death. Many called for their own governments to do more for refugees.
Kurdi urged anyone thinking about making the kind of journey he attempted to reconsider.
"I'd like to say to the refugees in the refugee camps that they shouldn't make this journey," he said. "The danger is too great. It's not worth it."
Some 2,510 people are thought to have perished in the Mediterranean in the first five months of 2016 alone, the UNHCR says. That number is way up from the 1,855 that died in the same period in 2015.
Abdullah's sister, Tima Kurdi, who lives in Canada, posted on her Facebook page ahead of the anniversary. "Please keep Alan and all those who died for the chance of freedom from the shackles of war in our daily prayers," she wrote. "We must never forget the price for freedom."
