Jakhi Alvester Pree-Sawyer

A Moment in time, yet a lifetime was born.

Between whispered prayers and hopeful tears, the world stood still, while life and loved refused to be stopped.

You will never know the battle fought before your very first breath. You were never simply born, you were chosen deeply loved, and sent exactly where you were meant to be.

Some people spend a lifetime searching for the kind of love that you gave so freely. You never had to try to be special, you simply were. You were truly Heaven on Earth.

To your mother, you were more than a son. You were her person, her laughter, her comfort, and one of her greatest blessings. The bond you shared can never be broken. It will forever live within her heart.

To your dad, you were a son who loved spending time by his side. Whether you were cooking together or simply shit talking throughout the day and night, priceless moments that he will cherish always.

To your siblings, your sister Heaven proudly called you her best friend, a title that speaks volumes about the love you shared. You were an amazing little brother to Sincere, an incredible big brother to TJ, and a loving cousin to bryson. You were also a loyal friend to everyone blessed enough to know you. You had a remarkable way of making people feel seen, valued and loved. Your loyalty never wavered, your heart was genuine, and your smile could brighten even the darkest days.

To Jade, you were a king to her Queen. You loved her with honesty, kindness, patience, and unwavering devotion. Though our hearts are broken because we can no longer see your smile, hear your voice, or hold you close, we find peace in knowing that Heaven gained an angel. Your love did not end that day you left this Earth. It lives on in every story we tell, every lesson you taught us, every meal that reminds us of you, every laugh that echoes our spirit, and every heart you touched.

Jakhi, your time here was far too short, but your impact is eternal. You will always be loved, always be remembered, and never be forgotten.

So fly high, King Khi.

For you were only here for a moment in time.​
