From the moment our beloved Messiah Armoni Preston came into this world, he filled our hearts with love beyond measure. Though his time with us was brief, he brought endless joy, laughter, and light to everyone who held him close.

Messiah attended Cradle Care daycare, where  his bright smile and sweet spirit touched the hearts of caregivers and friends alike.  One of his favorite activities was watching Gracie’s Corner, a time that always filled the room with his happy giggles and shining eyes.  

Messiah was preceded in death by great grandmother Patricia Ann Preston.  

Messiah was a beautiful blessing to his devoted parents, DahMaya Preston and Jakaden Hobbs, who cherished every moment with their sweet baby boy. His presence made every day brighter and every memory more meaningful.

He was survived and deeply loved by his proud grandparents: Tara Preston, Deray Preston (Kamilah), and Kalondra Vaughns;  great-grandparents:  Phyllis Ware, Terry Dismute, Bobby Preston (Jacquelyn), Debra Nelson, and Willie Nelson who will forever hold his spirit close to their hearts. His aunts and uncles: Lakyn Preston, JaKiya Vaughns, Khamani Vaughns, Mckinlee Nelson, and  Kaicen Vaughns adored his sweet smile and the joy he brought into the family.

Though Messiah’s journey on earth was short, his life was a testament to God’s love and the beauty of innocence. In his eyes, we saw heaven’s reflection. In his laughter, we heard the song of angels. He taught us the true meaning of love—pure, unconditional, and everlasting.

While our hearts ache in his absence, we find comfort in knowing that Messiah rests safely in the arms of the Lord. He is now our little angel, watching over us, smiling down from heaven, and reminding us that love never fades—it only grows stronger.

Messiah will forever be remembered as our precious baby, our miracle, and the light that continues to shine in our family’s hearts. His time here may have been brief, but his love will live on for eternity.
