Malakai Alexander Marks
June 13, 2021
Malakai Alexander Marks was lovingly welcomed into the world on February 2, 2021. Four short months later, Malakai unexpectedly passed away on June 8, 2021. In his short life, he brought so much joy and love to all of those that knew him. His big “chinky” smile and bright blue eyes lit up the whole room and would put a smile on your face even in the worst of days. He was the happiest of little fellas but definitely would let you know when he was hangry. Heaven now has the most precious of little angels.
He is preceded in death by his angelbaby sibling, great-great grandparents, Donald F. Lewis, Sr. and Barbara L. Lewis; great-grandmother, Janice R. Honeycutt; several other great-great grandparents, great grandparents, great-aunts, great-uncles, and great-cousins.

Bair III, Paul and Helena Hartje; uncles, Tavarus Bair, Gregory Hartje, and Tyler Hartje; aunt, Hannah Olsen; cousins, Rosalie Olsen, Clarity Bair, Kailani Bair, Tegan Bair, Bellamy Bair; godparents, Daniel Abdelwahed and Cherokee Selwyn; several great-aunts, great-uncles, and great-cousins.
