Malek R. Gautreaux

Despite being born with osteogenesis imperfecta, he lived a full and joyous life. He loved Jehovah’s creation, especially his companion golden retriever Rex.

He traveled to numerous zoos and aquariums. He loved visiting his local aquarium, Mystic Marinelife Aquarium and he took the trip of a lifetime to the Georgia Aquarium.

He loved to laugh and make others laugh. Before his illness limited his travel, he enjoyed swimming, playing ball, going to the movies and going to Olive Garden. He was also fortunate enough to have his wish granted by the Make a Wish Foundation to Leaning Birch Equestrian Center in Ledyard, CT.

Prior to passing he expressed firm hope in the Bible’s promise of a resurrection to perfect life on paradise earth. He died peacefully at home on July 1, 2025.

Along with his parents and sisters he is survived by his brother-in-law Sean and his three nieces Olivia, Evelyn and Charlotte. He also leaves behind numerous aunts, uncles and cousins.

A memorial talk will be held on Saturday July 26 at 1pm at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses 282 CT-165 Preston, CT 06365.
