Jonah Ryan Singleton

“Jesus said, “Let the children come to me, and do not prevent them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” Matthew 19:14 Jonah Ryan Singleton, the infant son of Jeremy Ryan and Monique Moreau Singleton, received his angel’s wings on Monday, August 19, 2013. From the moment of conception, Jonah was a fighter! He defied medical odds to be born, and was determined to meet his parents. He died peacefully in his mother’s arms, surrounded by love. He joins his brother, Matthew Ryan, in heaven, where his fight is over and he can be wrapped in the loving arms of our Lord Jesus. He is survived by his parents; his twin brother, Joshua Paul; his 7 year old brother, Noah Matthew; paternal grandparents, Francis and Sherell B. Singleton of Central; maternal grandparents, Edison J. Moreau, Jr of Cottonport and Sherrel C. Moreau of Baton Rouge; paternal great-grandparents, Noah and Juanita Singleton of Lafayette and Gustavia Breaux of Jennings; aunts and uncles, Derrick and Dina Moreau of Prairieville, Eric and Charlene Amos of Prairieville, Mike and Nicole Torrance of Pikeville, TN, Joey and Amy Singleton of Geismar, and numerous cousins, great-aunts and great-uncles. A chapel service will be held 2 pm at Greenoaks Funeral Home on Wednesday, August 21, 2013. Interment will follow at Greeoaks Memorial Park. Special thanks to Kelly M. Laborde for your loving care and compassion given to Jonah and the entire family. Additional thanks to the medical staff of Woman’s Hospital, especially the NICU nurses who have been nurturing and supportive throughout this very trying time. Though gone from this earth, Jonah will live in our hearts forever.
