Jr had the sweetest spirit and a smile that could brighten any room. His beautiful eyes, soft hugs, and sweet laughter brought happiness to everyone around him. He loved being close to his mommy and daddy, and his favorite thing in the world was sharing love through smiles, cuddles, and baby talk. One of the memories his family will cherish forever is hearing him practice his little vowels with his dad and watching him reach his very first few milestones. Even diaper changes became special moments filled with laughter and play because his daddy always made them fun.

Jr loved late-night talks with his parents, making adorable baby sounds, and spending every moment surrounded by love. One special memory his family will always treasure was his very first real train ride at the South Carolina Train Museum. Though his time here was short, the love he gave and received will last forever.  Jr was truly “Made with Love.”He will always be remembered, deeply missed, and forever carried in the hearts of all who loved him.
