Hi, I did not know you or your son. I saw you on TikTok and it touched my heart. I lost my daughter to sids at the age of 14 1/2 months . I’m so sorry for your loss. God bless you and your family and your beautiful son

I think about you everyday Kodie... I miss FaceTiming your mom and seeing you sweet little face. 
You are always in my thoughts. I will miss you and think of you everyday until we see each other again in Heaven. 
I will keep your memory alive and always look after your Mommy, Daddy, and brothers.

Love always,
Your Mimi

Kayle, Alexa & family, our hearts go out to all of you during this time of loss.  No words can express the level of pain you are and will continue to go through.

I can’t even imagine the pain and heartbreak you are feeling right now. My family prays every night for your family. No words will ever do, but we send huge hugs, our prayers and our genuine love for you and your family. 

I love you so much Lex 💙💕
My heart is hurting for you and it's hard to find words. May God comfort your heart during this painful time and you continue to prosper and keep a stiff upper lip. 

I adore your grandmother, mother and family w my whole heart and loved seeing the beautiful pictures they posted of you and your brothers. You and your family will always be in my heart sweet boy 💙

From the bottom of my heart I’m so incredibly sorry for the loss of your precious baby boy, Dakota River. What a gorgeous sweet lil
Guy he was. My heart breaks for you and your family. I was close friends with your mom, Dana at one point growing up and I felt  compelled to reach out in this time of grief and heartache to say I’m praying for all of you to have the strength you need to survive such a devastating tragedy. Love and hugs! 💔❤️

I remember when your mommy and daddy were trying to have another sweet little baby, and they were thrilled! I was so excited and happy for everyone and even had plans to live with you for your first few months of life. I may have never held you, but I have always held so much love for you in my heart. Soo much love for your brothers and mama. Koda, you are loved by so many people. People you’ve never met, people who haven’t met your mom or dad. You’ve made such an impact on so many lives. You’ve touched so many hearts. You’ve made so many people crack a smile. You’ll forever be loved little man. I know your grandpa is up there taking care of you. I know both you and your grandpa are looking over your bothers, mama and daddy every second of every day. You’ve touched so many hearts and thank god your mommy took so many pictures of you. You are forever loved and forever remembered. 💙

Little man I remember when your mom announced she was expecting you and I remember how excited she was to meet you. Every time she shared a picture or post of you the light you brought to her was so evident. You are a blessing and always will be for your mom, dad and your brothers. Watch over her and give her those same happy moments little guy. 

Kodabear, 

I remember when your mommy first found out when she was pregnant with you, I was so lucky to find out so quickly. She was surprised but was already so excited and over the moon for you. 
After you we’re born, your smile and personality lit up the world. Those beautiful river blue eyes lit up whenever you saw your mama. She is so in love with you. She would always talk about how obsessed she was with you. Nothing ever comes quite as close to that kind of love. You’re her best friend, and will always be. You’re dancing with the angles now, you are so loved. 
Stay close in your mama’s , daddy’s & brothers’ hearts, sweetest boy. 

Dear Dakoda,
Though you were a tiny little one here on Earth for a short period of time, your spirit and presence was larger than life. Please look over your family, especially your mommy.  She is so heartbroken and lost without you.  Your bond with her was between just the two of you and from I’ve been told, it was so pure and beautiful. 
I have known your mommy her whole life and If God chose her as your mommy, you were given the best mommy  Earth has to offer. I know that she loves you with all her soul and misses you terribly. 
I wish I had the privilege to hold you in this lifetime. I know that I will meet you someday and see that contagious smile I’ve seen in photos. 
I love you sweet boy💕

Love, Chiney 

I did  not have the opportunity to meet or hold you, Dakoda, but I feel as though I was able to get a glimpse of your life through your mother’s pictures and stories of love for her baby boy.  She has also shared the pain and grief that no mother should ever endure.  I know your father will hold her while he weeps inside as  your parents have suffered the greatest tragedy - losing a piece of their soul. 

 I know you will be there even though they may not feel you.   Your spirt will guide your brothers and protect them.   You will show yourself through signs, letting your family know that you haven’t left them as your energy stays constant.   You are a river that will continue to flow through everyone’s hearts. 

Shine on our blue eyed angel!  




Dakoda, 

 Your momma became such a dear friend of mine and I love her so much! I never got the chance to meet you but I know how big of an impact you have already made! Your momma loves you so much and she always talked about you in our little group chat! Your smile could brighten anyone’s day! Keep watch over your mommy, daddy and big brothers, they miss you more than you could ever know. Fly high with the angels sweet baby boy! 

Seeing your pictures, your milestone updates was something that made me smile. That's something I'm going to miss seeing, you growing. The jokes your mommy and our tiny group of friends used to laugh about while she was pregnant with you are memories I'll cherish even more now. Koda, we miss you and please watch over your momma. She misses you so much. Love you sweet boy.

Your bright smile and little giggle was so contagious, I never had the opportunity to meet you but seeing videos of you always warmed my heart. I pray for your mommy and family everyday, sweetie. 

Dear sweet boy, it is very obvious that you were so very loved and will be so greatly missed. Please keep an eye on your older brothers and may you Rest In Peace. You’re a precious angel and i hope you are enjoying every second of your eternal life now. Your whole family is in my prayers as i think of them often and my heart hurts for them. Peace and comfort to this beautiful family. 

Dakoda, 
I remember the day your mommy told me she was pregnant with you. She was through the moon. I was excited for your mommy. I called you my little peanut or my little munchkin. that is what you will always be. I remember the morning that your mommy had you, she was texting me and I was so excited that you were trying to make your way into this earth. I was so happy when you were born. I never got the chance to meet you, but boy did I love you munchkin. I loved getting photos of you from your mommy. Your smile brought such joy to everyone who saw it. and that’s how it will remain. Watch over your momma, daddy, and brothers. Keep them safe. I love you munchkin ❤️ 

Dakoda, your mommy means the world to me. I’m so sorry that I never got to meet your sweet face or give you any cuddles. I wish I could’ve met you at least once. You’re such a sweet little angel. Enjoy all the fun baby stuff in Heaven sweet boy 

Oh sweet baby boy, I may not have met you but man do I know your mommy. She was so excited when she found out she was pregnant with you. From hundreds of miles away, we could all see her light beam with joy. You and your brothers were and will always be, her entire world. I may have not met you, but because of her, I loved you. I loved seeing pictures of you and your brothers, I loved hearing about your crazy adventures, and silly times, and how much your big brothers absolutely love you. Even though I could not watch you turn into an amazing little rascal, I know you are one. Stay with your mommy forever Angel. ❤️ 

I never got to meet this sweet baby boy, but boy is he handsome. I’m sure he’s eating all the baby food he can in heaven and smiling down on his mama, dada, and two big brothers. 

Dakoda,
When your mommy put you in my arms, the day I met you for the first time, I loved you then and I will love you the rest of my life.

Keep your place in heaven and save a little corner for me when it’s time for me to join you in heaven.
Love you, GiGi (your great, great grandmother).

While to the sun has set on his time here, Dakota's light will remain with you forever. Hold onto that light in times of weakness or sorrow, and let it shine through. Sending all my love and thoughts on this unimaginable time. 

So i may not have gotten to meet sweet baby Dakoda River but i still loved him via all the pictures and videos your momma posted. My heart continually will ache for Alexa, Kayle, and the boys.  You are an amazing angel who is watching over your momma daddy and brothers eating heavens avocados.   All my love to the Marquis family and if you ever need me I’m here for you 24/7 365 (366 this year) 

My heart is with you and your family right now but he was a well loved baby and now your guardian angel

Dakoda River.. you guys put endless hours of thought, debating countless names, revising and editing again and again into that one beautiful name for a beautiful, incredible boy. And oh how you questioned if you would ever find that just right name for your just right son... But you did and its perfect - his sweet soul ebbed and flowed into everyone he met and his smile touched the hearts of so many. He brought so much happiness, joy and love into life.. but he also brought fulfillment and peace. I pray that one day, Alexa and Kayle, the beautiful memories of your sweet son, Dakoda, bring you feelings of fulfillment and you find peace again knowing you have the most beautiful guardian angel watching over you. 

Heaven gained a beautiful baby boy. Although I never got to meet you, you were very much loved! May your spirit and soul be with us during hard times. Thank you for gracing us with your time here on Earth. ♥ ♥ ♥ 

You were called to Heaven too soon. Our hearts go out to your Mommy, Daddy and brothers. We will always love you Dakoda. Love , your cousins Jason, Heather, Miller and Finn. ❤️🙏

I didn’t get the privilege of meeting Dakoda, however I don’t need to meet him yet to be able to love him. I know and love his family and that alone explains to me who he was and his type of personality. You guys are and always will be in my heart and prayers. I’m not gonna give all the false statements of time heals, and etc.. what I’m gonna say is continue to be the strong, loving, supportive , wonderful family you all are and you will get each other through this. I love all you and I will continue to pray for strength to get you through this and for the long journey ahead of you.. 

In 5 1/2 short months you etched love on so many hearts. Left here on earth we wonder why? But GOD called you to his Grace's, some have spirits meant to fly. You will be forgotten,  never. You will loved, always. Rest peacefully sweet angel. 

Oh beautiful Angel Dakoda. I know your Grandfather is holding you tight now and taking care of you. Watch over your Mommy and brothers now. For you now will be there Guardian Angel. 
May your memory be eternal. 

From one mamma heart to another, may God hold you close and give you the strength you need during this time, & may your sweet boy continue to always be by your side and rest peacefully ❤️ My condolences to you & your family ❣️ 

Dakoda River, beautiful boy.... fly high amongst the angels 💕
You are loved beyond measure.and will never be forgotten.  
May your mommy, daddy and brothers find strength and comfort. 

Dakoda River, 
You were my best friend and my other half. I’ll love you forever and cherish every single memory that we shared for the rest of my life. You had the most perfect smile and lit up every room that you were in. I’m so glad I got to spend every single day of your life with you. 

You will always be Mimi’s boy..... it was an honor to be your grandmother.

You will forever live on in my heart ♥️
I will love you always my Koda Bear 

I did not know Dakota but I know his loving grandmother Dana. I cannot begin to fathom the pain of losing a child. At a time like this, words fall flat. I want to wrap you all in my love and cry with you. I am sending you all of the love and strength across the miles.

Dakoda had a smile that could light up a room. Any time I was feeling down I would have Lex send me pictures of him. I would instantly smile and cheer up. He is smiling down on all of us! Love you baby boy.
