In Loving Memory of

Ja'Von Michael-Marquis Lino

August 7, 2025 – October 8, 2026

"Some souls are too beautiful for this world, but their love remains with us forever."

With profound sadness and heavy hearts, we announce the unexpected passing of our precious Ja'Von Michael-Marquis Lino, who entered this world on August 7, 2025, and gained his heavenly wings on October 8, 2026, at the tender age of 14 months.

Although Ja'Von's time here on Earth was heartbreakingly brief, his life was filled with an abundance of love, laughter, joy, and unforgettable moments. From the day he was born, he became a beautiful blessing to his family, bringing happiness and a special kind of love that words could never fully describe.

Ja'Von was a sweet, loving, goofy, and delightfully sassy little boy whose personality was as big as the love surrounding him. His precious smile could brighten even the darkest days, and his playful spirit had a way of bringing laughter and happiness to everyone fortunate enough to be in his presence. Whether he was being silly, showing his sassy little attitude, or simply enjoying the love and attention of his family, Ja'Von had a special way of making ordinary moments extraordinary.

He shared an unbreakable bond with his mother, father, and big brother. He was deeply loved and cherished, and every moment spent with him became a memory his family will hold close to their hearts forever. His presence brought warmth into their home, laughter into their days, and a love that will never fade.

One of the family's most treasured memories was the unforgettable moment Ja'Von took his very first steps on his father's birthday. What was already a special day became an even more meaningful celebration as his family witnessed another beautiful milestone in his young life. It was a moment filled with excitement, pride, and overwhelming happiness that will forever remain in their hearts.

Ja'Von was growing, learning, exploring, and reaching important milestones. Each new accomplishment was a reason to celebrate, and every smile, laugh, and little step was another precious memory being made. His family looked forward to watching him continue to grow, discover the world, and become the wonderful person they knew he was destined to be.

Tragically, Ja'Von's life was cut far too short. His sudden and unexpected passing has left an unimaginable emptiness in the hearts of his family, friends, and everyone who knew and loved him. The loss of such a precious young life is a sorrow beyond words, and his absence will be felt in countless ways.

Although his family will never have the opportunity to watch him grow older, they will forever carry the memories of the beautiful little boy he was. His smile, his laughter, his playful personality, and the happiness he brought into their lives will remain treasured gifts that time can never take away.

Ja'Von may have been small, but the love he brought into this world was immeasurable. His life serves as a reminder that the greatest blessings are not measured by how long they remain with us, but by the love they leave behind.

Cherished Family and Loved Ones

Ja'Von leaves behind a family who will forever cherish his memory, including his loving mother, Leanna Carnes; devoted father, Stefan Lino; and beloved older brother, La'Mont Edwards.

He is also lovingly remembered by his grandparents, Laurie Carnes, Jennie Gaston, and Desiderio Lino; great-grandmother, Marian Lively; godparents, Randy and Jacqueline Arenz; godsisters, Sheila and Spencer; aunts, Lisa Mason, Rainy Carnes, and Shanaya Lucas-Byrd; and uncle, John Mason.

Ja'Von also leaves behind numerous other aunts, uncles, cousins, extended family members, and loved ones whose lives were touched by his precious presence. Each will carry their own special memories of him and the unconditional love he brought into their lives.

Preceded in Death

Ja'Von was preceded in death by his beloved grandfather, Michael Carnes, and his uncles, Shawn Cook, Javon Stokes, and Thomas Jennings.

Though these loved ones departed before him, the family finds comfort in the loving thought that Ja'Von has been welcomed into the arms of those who have gone before him.

Forever in Our Hearts

Heaven has gained a beautiful little angel, but here on Earth, a family has lost a precious piece of its heart.

There are no words that can fully express the pain of saying goodbye to someone so young, so innocent, and so deeply loved. Ja'Von had an entire lifetime ahead of him, filled with dreams, milestones, adventures, and memories yet to be made. Although those moments were taken far too soon, the moments his family was blessed to share with him will forever be priceless.

His family will miss the sound of his laughter, the sight of his beautiful smile, his sweet little expressions, and the joy of watching him grow. They will miss the everyday moments that once seemed so small but now mean everything.

While his tiny footsteps may no longer be heard, the love he left behind will continue to echo through the hearts of everyone who knew him. His memory will live on in the stories his family shares, the photographs they treasure, and the countless moments when they feel his presence in their hearts.

Although his family was not ready to say goodbye, they will continue to honor his beautiful life by remembering the happiness he brought into their world.

Ja'Von was here for only a short time, but he was loved enough for a thousand lifetimes. His story does not end with goodbye, because a love as pure and precious as his can never truly disappear.

Forever Loved. Forever Missed. Never Forgotten.

"Your little hands held our fingers for a short while, but your love will hold our hearts forever."

Rest peacefully in the arms of the angels, sweet Ja'Von. Until we meet again, you will always be our precious baby boy.
